  6. Read the note for Flex Gated customers and scroll down to begin adding value.

    Please note: the Flex parking rate is a 20% discount on daily visitor parking rates. The discount is taken upfront when value is added to the permit: it is not taken for each individual parking session. For example, adding $50 of value costs $40.

  7. Near the bottom of the page, go to the “Additional Value to Add” drop-down menu. (In the example on this page, $50.00 was selected to add $50 of value to the permit.) The 20% discount on the daily visitor parking rate will be reflected in the “Cost For Value Added” field as $0.80. The discounted amount you pay is listed in the “Total Additional Cost” field, in this example $40.00.

    When ready to proceed, click the “Next” button.
