City Announces New Payment Pilot in Marketplace Garage – Touchless with the ParkMobile App or Pre-Pay at Kiosk

In response to the current pandemic and changes to lane structure underway on South Winooski Ave, the Department of Public Works is launching a pilot payment system at Marketplace Garage to minimize contact and improve entry/exit efficiency.

On October 14, the entrance and exit gates will be raised at the popular downtown garage and customers will be required to start a parking session before leaving the facility by using ParkMobile, Burlington’s pay-by-cell app, or a kiosk on the ground floo­r.

Customers that choose to use the kiosk option will need to enter their license plate and can pay with cash or credit card. The kiosks will feature the same process as those used on-street and in lots around Burlington, such as St Paul Street.
