3. PAY AT A PAY STATION

Look for PARKPensacola pay stations with the teal signs to park at City-managed lots, on-street parking and the Jefferson Street Garage. If you start a parking session by paying at a pay station, you can also extend your time via the app instead of having to go back to the pay station. Remember, you do not need to keep or display your receipt.
TIP: Have your tag number handy before paying.
