"With the new semester, California State University, Northridge Parking and Transportation Services have implemented new services that will improve parking access on campus.

One exciting new addition is the new pay-by-phone parking service, which allows for mobile-based payment for any student parking spot on campus.

“In the spirit of increasing access to campus, we brought on pay-by-phone,” said Michael Yu, parking and transportation services manager. The new service, Yu said, helps battle the challenges of having to find a working dispenser to park on campus.

“When I started in this position, one of the first things I realized that students needed was the ability to easily purchase parking,” Yu said. “The goal of Parking and Transportation Services is to increase access [to campus] for all students.”

After going through the one-time registration process, users can buy daily or hourly parking in the CSUN app when visiting campus, and their license plates will serve as their virtual parking permit. The service can be used in all student parking lots, which are easily located on campus maps."
