Smart Cards
The RamCard Office now sells Smart Cards for the
parking meters on campus.
- Each card has a microchip embedded in it with a certain dollar amount encoded in it.
- When the card is inserted into the meter, it will flash the balance 4 times.
- After the fourth flash, the meter will begin taking off money in 30 minute increments.
- When the desired time is reached (limited to three hours), remove the card quickly.
- Cards are available for only $10 or $20.
- Come into our office to learn more!
