Transaction Fees (based on Membership Level):
The Parkmobile transaction fees are waived in your parking area. The parking operator absorbs the cost of the transaction fee, so you only pay the standard daily parking rate when using Parkmobile, just as you do when you pay at the parking areas.
When registering for pay by phone parking service with Parkmobile via our website you're given two membership options: "ParkmobilePro Membership", which carries with it a monthly fee, and "Basic Membership", which has no monthly fee. In your area, it currently makes the most sense for you to select the ‘Basic Membership’ instead of the ‘ParkmobilePro Membership’. Since your transaction fees are waived, you wouldn’t get the biggest advantage of a lowered transaction fee anyway. In the future there will be many more benefits included with the ‘ParkmobileProMembership’ which may influence your decision to choose it for a monthly fee instead of the no monthly fee ‘Basic Membership’
By default when you register via any other method other than the website, your membership level is set to "Basic Membership".
Additionally, there is no cost to download one of our mobile apps and no cost to register via a mobile app or online.
How Will Enforcement Officers Know That I've Paid? Will My Payment Show on the Meter?
Enforcement officers will use your license plate number and zone number to view your Parkmobile payment on a handheld device.
**Note: the lots in Mansfield, MA where Parkmobile is offered are NOT operated by the MBTA but rather by the City of Mansfield. In this area, the officer will use your license plate number, zone number, and space number to view your Parkmobile payment on a handheld device. As such, please make sure to add any additional license plate numbers to your account before creating a parking session in order to make sure your parking transactions are correctly created.
Zone Number Information and Range:
Zone numbers are a critical part of your transaction and must be recorded correctly in order for your parking session to be identified correctly by the parking enforcement officers. Zone numbers may vary by parking lot. You MUST identify your Parkmobile zone number from the Parkmobile signage located in your parking lot.

What do I do if I get a parking citation in this area?
Parkmobile does not own, operate, manage or enforce the parking areas. We don’t issue tickets and we can’t remove them for you. We can provide you with the contact information for your parking authority, if you don’t have it, so you can contact them to begin your dispute. You can use your parking receipt from your Personal Pages to include with your dispute.
**Note: the lots in Mansfield, MA where Parkmobile is offered are NOT operated by the MBTA but rather by the City of Mansfield.
