Chinatown Parking Mobile App Instructions

Introduction

The Chinatown Parking Corporation has upgraded its parking equipment to a modern system that allows for contactless payments, the ability to enter and exit with a smartphone equipped with Bluetooth, and faster entry and exit.

All users, including monthly and daily parkers, are encouraged to download the Metropolis app and register:


Validations

Participating merchants will validate parking for 3 hours for only $3.00. If a validated parker stays past the 3 hours, they will have to pay the full rate.


To get the validated rate, visit a participating merchant and present your license plate or scan a QR code that the merchant provides for the validation purpose.

The merchant will scan the QR code and the validation will be applied.


  • Using the Metropolis app or web app to pay


To enter the lot, pull up to the entrance gate and Metropolis will have your license plate recorded.


To exit, pull up to the gate after scanning the QR code displayed around the Parking lot to ensure a smooth parking exit for you.


Monthly Parking

Current monthly parking customers will need to setup their account with Metropolis. We no longer use tickets or QR code. 


Billing for monthly customers will remain the same for the time being.


If you are a monthly parker, to ensure a smooth transition, please reach out to the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce immediately at (312) 326-5320.
