SLO drivers can pay for parking with city’s new HONK mobile app
With the touch of a fingertip, drivers in San Luis Obispo can now pay for parking using a mobile app.
Starting Friday, downtown visitors may pay for street parking by downloading and using SLO’s new HONK app, which is available at both the Apple AppStore and the Google Play Store.
“Paying for street parking is now more convenient than ever before,” said SLO Parking Programs Manager Gaven Hussey. “Visitors to downtown San Luis Obispo can pay for parking using a mobile app they may already have installed. If you don’t want to download an app, don’t worry. You can still pay for street parking via our pay stations located on every block downtown.”
Looking ahead, the city also plans to offer three other common mobile apps for downtown street parking, including Park Smarter, ParkMobile and PayByPhone. All should be available soon, the city said, starting with Park Smarter as early as next week.
Street parking is enforced Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 1 to 9 p.m., including holidays.
Rates vary from $1.25 per hour to $2 per hour depending on where motorists park.
