Parking validation is a great way for Hoboken business owners to provide customers with discounted parking at municipal garages. The Hoboken Parking Utility is launching a new online-based E-Validation system that will streamline purchasing, activating, tracking, and paying for parking validations. Business owners will be able to make payments at the end of each month based on the number of validations used instead of having to pre-purchase validation coupons. Additional benefits include: 

• Easy management: Enrolled businesses will receive an online account with Tiba Smartpark. Once set up, businesses can validate parking online for their customers and manage payments monthly.

• Discounted rates: Customers receive free parking at Garage B (28 2nd St), Garage D, (215 Hudson St), and Midtown Garage (371 4th St) when local businesses validate their parking at 50% off the standard rate:

• License plate recognition: New license plate recognition cameras will scan your customer's license plate upon entry and exit, automatically applying the discounted rate.

• No more validations to buy in advance at City Hall: E-Validation eliminates the need for merchant validation tickets, meaning business owners can skip the trip to City Hall and not worry about managing paper validation coupons.

Interested businesses will need to setup a business account in HPU Online in order to enroll in the E-Validation Program. For assistance with the enrollment process, businesses can contact Parking Utility customer service by email anytime at parking@hobokennj.gov, or call 201-653-1919 M-F, 9:00am-4:00pm.
