Contactless Mobile Payment Parking in New Brunswick

Many parking meters have transitioned to contactless ParkMobile. ParkMobile allows visitors and residents to conveniently pay for and extend time at parking spots right from their mobile phones. Residents and visitors can download the ParkMobile app or access it via web browser. ParkMobile accepts all major credit cards and Apple Pay.

ParkMobile is available for both iPhone and Android devices, or can also be accessed on a mobile web browser via QR code or text message.

How it Works:

Register at www.parkmobile.com, launch the mobile app on your Android, Windows or iPhone, or call the 1-800-280-4146 number posted on the meter. Registration will require a payment method to be stored such as: PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express or ParkMobile Wallet.
Park in any of our marked ParkMobile enabled meters as indicated with green ParkMobile stickers and signs.
Enter the zone number indicated on the meter, and space number, if applicable.
Input your vehicle information and license plate number. If you already added the information, ensure that you have selected the correct vehicle.
Select the amount of time needed and press the "Start Parking" button to begin the session.

*Users can extend the time of the parking session on their mobile device, without having to go back to the meter.

Alternate Side Parking starts Monday April 1st, 2025

Effective April 1st through October 31st, 2025 street sweeping occurs throughout the city. Signs are posted on each street advising when street sweeping will take place and when alternate side of the street is required so that the street sweeping crews can clear the streets of debris.

Alternate Side Parking will be strictly enforced.

Be a good neighbor, obey the alternate side parking rules and kindly move your vehicle.

Public Service Announcements - Saving Parking Spots

A Friendly Reminder…

While we understand everyone would like to park in front of their residence, saving unoccupied parking spots is not allowed and illegal. The City of New Brunswick wants to remind residents to be good neighbors and respect the parking rules and regulations.

The use of cones or other objects to save a parking space along a residential street is prohibited. If this practice is observed by officers of the New Brunswick Police Department or the New Brunswick Parking Authority, the cones will be removed, and a summons will be issued when applicable. Please be courteous to your neighbors and obey the rules.
