Cornell parking is about to become simpler. The university has implemented service by Parkmobile USA that lets students, faculty, staff and visitors pay for parking throughout campus using Parkmobile applications for iPhone, Android, Windows and Blackberry smartphones.

Register and download a mobile app at www.parkmobile.com. After setting up your account, you can start using the system immediately with your registered mobile phone. You can also opt to receive text message alerts and reminders 15 minutes before your time runs out.

“One of our focused efforts over the past year has been to improve short-term parking access. Parkmobile helps us to meet that need and provides flexibility for departments, visitors and the campus community,” said Joe Lalley, senior director of facilities services.
