About Spot Parking

The Spot Parking mobile app is the easiest way for students, faculty, and campus visitors to manage everything related to campus parking. From finding open spots to paying citations, the app is your personal parking assistant — all in your pocket.

🗺️ Navigate to Available Spots
No more guessing where to park. With real-time availability powered by Spot’s smart camera system, you can:
  • View live open spaces in color-coded lots
  • See permit-only zones and time-restricted areas
  • Tap to navigate directly to the best spot via your preferred map app
Don’t circle the lot — spot the spot.

🧾 Pay or Appeal Citations
Got a citation? No need to check your windshield or dig through emails. The app allows you to: 1. View your citation history with full details and timestamps 2. Tap “Pay Citation” to resolve it in-app 3. If you feel it was unfair, tap “Appeal Citation”, write a message, and upload photos
All appeals are logged and reviewed by your campus enforcement team.

🚙 Manage Your Vehicles
You can register and manage multiple vehicles from your profile:
  • Add a new license plate
  • Remove or update vehicle info
  • Forgot to switch your vehicle for the day? No worries, our system manages that automatically.
This helps the system know which vehicles are associated with your account — and ensures you don’t get cited accidentally.

📬 Submit Lot Feedback or Requests
If something feels off — like a broken sign, unclear markings, or an overcrowded area — use the Lot Feedback tool: • Tap the “Feedback” button on any lot • Describe the issue • Optionally upload photos
Your feedback goes directly to the campus parking team and helps improve the experience for everyone.
