Overview 

The notification feature allows you to communicate to your parkers through the parking app. The notifications do not prevent your parker from starting a parking session, but restrictions do.

Here are some examples of when you may want to use a notification:

• Inform your parkers that the zone will be closed the following week for construction
• Notify parkers of a future event that will affect the parking rates
• Warn your parkers not to back into the space (for zones using LPR)
• Event rate for today only: $10 flat rate
