JUNEAU, Alaska (KINY) — The City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ) has installed new pay stations at several hourly parking locations, making it easier and more convenient for customers to pay for parking. The updated pay stations are now operational at Shopper’s Lot, North Franklin Lot, the Marine Park Garage (Level 1), Taku Lot, and Statter Harbor.
Customers can use credit or debit cards, as well as coins, to pay at the new pay stations. Additionally, the ParkSmarter app, available for free on iOS here and Android here, allows users to pay or add time from their phones.
Despite these upgrades, there are no changes to parking fees or enforcement hours. Rates remain $.75 per hour in the downtown business area locations, $2 per hour at Taku Lot with a three-hour maximum, and $1 per hour or $5 per day at Statter Harbor with a 30-day maximum. Parking fees are enforced from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday downtown; from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week at Taku Lot; and 24 hours a day, seven days a week at Statter Harbor.
Payment Methods:
- App: Use the free ParkSmarter app to pay for parking with a credit or debit card, add time to your parking session, or obtain a receipt.
- Pay Station: Pay using coins or credit/debit cards at physical pay stations installed in each parking location. You can choose to print a receipt or receive it via email.
Whether paying with the app or at a pay station, customers will enter their license plate number to serve as their virtual hourly permit, eliminating the need to print and display paper slips.
These new options are available in all three downtown Juneau hourly parking locations and the Docks & Harbors paid parking lots.
Stay tuned for upcoming changes to the parking permit system that will make it easier to buy a permit, pay a fine, or appeal a citation. For more information, visit CBJ parking.
