SACRAMENTO (OBSNews.com) - The City of Sacramento has gone live with a pay-by-phone service at more downtown parking lots, which will make paying for parking even easier for customers on the go.

The service is now available at Lot D (12th & I St.), Lot X (2nd & N St.), Garcia Bend, and Miller Park parking lots operated by the City of Sacramento.

The new service enables customers who are parking to simply take note of their space number and use their cell phone to pay for parking within a few minutes of parking. Customers can still use the Pay and Display Stations at the lots, which also accept credit cards, if they prefer not to pay by phone.
