There are multiple ways to enter the garage

1. The garage uses a camera to verify your license plate and automatically raises the gate arm when you pull up to the entrance.
2. Tap your UO ID card on the kiosk RFID reader.
3. Use the ParkWhiz App to enter the garage by:
   1. Scanning the QR code shown on the app screen at the kiosk, or
   2. Pressing the Open Gate button on the app to open the gate via Bluetooth.
4. Press the 'Help' button on the kiosk to work with a live customer service agent who can verify your parking account and raise the gate arms.

The License Plate Recognition (LPR) system successfully reads 90% of license plates. Some plates are harder to read, such as those with hard to interpret sequences (i.e. 000OO23), ones with highly graphic backgrounds (e.g. Smokey Bear plates), faded or dirty plates, or plates with a cover that cause distortion.
