Parking pay stations are automated parking terminals that manage multiple parking spaces in pay by plate parking lots.

The pay stations are located under the shelters in the lots with a sign to indicate the location “Pay Here” sign.

Each unit has step-by-step instructions to guide you through your transaction. Just press 1 to "wake" the unit from power save. Then enter your license plate number and follow the prompts on the screen. You'll see the panel light up when the unit is ready to accept payment. Insert your payment and collect your receipt from the slot below. Take your receipt with you to remind you exactly what time your parking expires. Display of your receipt in your car is not required.

If your time has not expired, you can add additional time by entering your license plate number and selecting option 2, "Add Time" from the pay station menu. Press enter, then key in your add time code from your receipt. Follow the prompts and a new receipt will print showing your adjusted expiration time. If your original time has expired, start a new parking transaction.

In addition to U.S. coin and cash the pay stations accept debit and credit cards. If paying with coin or cash, use exact change. In order to conserve processing energy, the pay stations do not give change. Overpayment will not be refunded.

The rate will be $1 per hour.

No, the pay stations do not give change.  If paying with coin or cash, use exact change. Overpayment will not be refunded.

Pay by Plate is enforced 24/7/365. Please see updates and additional information on enforcement on our General Services webpage.

When you enter your license plate number and pay to park, the data from your transaction is transmitted to the parking database. Enforcement officers use License plate recognition software or download this file, either at the pay station or via their handhelds, a list of paid or expired spaces is viewable in real time.

The pay stations do not support in and out privileges as your space may not be available upon your return. If you have remaining paid time and there is a space available, you can use the remaining time paid for under your license plate. Over payments will not be refunded.

Yes, holders of a UWRF issued or state physically challenged permit or state issued physically challenged plates can park in any of the pay by plate parking without payment.

If the unit you are using seems to be malfunctioning, any pay station in that lot can accept your payment. Enter your license plate number and follow the prompts. If you continue to have difficulties, contact University Parking at 715-425-3333 and staff will be happy to assist you.

The error we see most frequently is that drivers enter the wrong license plate number when they park. But your receipt provides proof of payment. Take a photo of your receipt and citation and email it to parking@uwrf.edu immediately. If we can confirm the two match, the citation can be voided. If you cannot find your receipt you may request a copy by emailing parking@uwrf.edu, if no receipt is found, the citation will stand.

Yes, but it must be in the designated Motorcycle pay by plate parking spaces. You must either have a valid motorcycle permit or pay for your pay by plate.
