Transition highlights
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
We know the transition from HonkMobile to ParkEngage is complex. We want to make the process as easy to navigate as possible, so we’ll update this page regularly with more details and links as they become available.
New walk-up paystations powered by ParkEngage
Starting May 20*, new walk-up paystations will be available in high-traffic areas of our Gorham and Portland campuses (parking on our Lewiston-Auburn campus is free). Paystations accept credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay.
2024 implementation schedule
Paystations will be installed and ready to use on May 20*. The full ParkEngage system, which will replace all HONK signage and systems, is expected to be operational by July 1*. Starting July 1*, we will no longer accept payment, validations, and permits via HonkMobile.
