Use https://m2.paybyphone.com/login/reset to reset the password. 

👉 Is there an option to auto-renewal?

The option to auto-renew was removed in 2022.

  • Permits purchased through the PBP mobile apps will not auto-renew at the beginning of the next month (you will be required to re-purchase a permit on a monthly basis).

👉 Can I roam between locations?

  • Roaming abilities are not available.

👉 Do I need to purchase a calendar month?

  • Purchase 30 days worth of parking from any day as opposed to the beginning of end of month, giving you more flexibility!

👉 Can I update my permit to associate it with a different vehicle than when I purchased it?

  • Please contact PayByPhone customer support to change a vehicle associated with a monthly permit. A credit or refund may be issued depending on the situation.  

 

👉 What location code should I use? 

  • There are two codes for each location. The daily parking has a 4-digit code and the monthly parking number is the same code + 9999.  As an example:  Gloucester is daily parking of 4233 and monthly parking of 42339999
