Key Cards

Your key card contains a micro transmitter which will activate the entrance and exit gates at the deck to which you are assigned. Simply pass it in front of the reader - within a 4-inch distance to activate the gates.

Please treat your key card with care. Do not attempt to bend the key card and keep it out of direct heat. Do not leave it above the sun visor of your car, and keep the key card away from magnetic and laser sources. When you no longer need the parking space and wish to terminate your contract, return your key to the Parking Authority in good condition; otherwise, a $20 fee will be deducted from your refund.

North and Middle Community Lot Customers

To operate the gate, place the card flat against the reader with the arrow facing up and toward you. Please treat your key card with care. Do not attempt to bend the key card, and keep it out of direct heat. Do not leave it above the sun visor of your car, and keep it away from magnetic and laser sources. When you no longer need the parking space and wish to terminate your contract, return your key to the Parking Authority in good condition; otherwise, a $20 fee will be deducted from your refund.

Lots with Rear-Window or Bumper-Sticker & Hang Tags

If you have a rear-window or bumper sticker for one of our lots, it is to be placed on your primary use vehicle (the vehicle you use most often). In the event that you will be bringing another vehicle on the lot, you may request a hangtag to be used in that other vehicle. You must supply the Allentown Parking Authority with the license plate numbers of all vehicles you may bring onto the lot. When you use one of your secondary vehicles, simply place the hangtag on the inside rear-view mirror of that vehicle.

You must have either a permanent rear-window sticker, a bumper sticker or a hangtag permit displayed in whatever vehicle you park on the lot. If you do not have a hangtag displayed, please call our office to verify that the license plate of that vehicle is in our database. Vehicles on the lot without proper permits will be issued valid parking tickets.

When you no longer need the parking space and wish to terminate your contract, please return to us the permanent rear-window sticker, bumper sticker and any hangtag you were given. Key cards or hangtags may be dropped off at our office or any of our attended parking facilities.

Lost sticker replacement fee is $10.

All Contract Parkers

Note: Refund for unused time will not be made if termination occurs during the first full month of contract parking.

All vehicles on our property must be legally registered, inspected and insured.

No repairs or maintenance work is permitted on our property.

All Monthly Contract Parking

Once you sign up for long term parking with the APA, all monthly parking fees are due in advance by the 1st of the month.

A security deposit equal to one month's rent per space is required to begin contract parking.

Payments received after the fifth (5th) of the month are charged a $5.00 late fee, and your Key Card may be “locked” out of the system, rendering it unusable and parking stickers and hangtags will become invalid. Your vehicle will be given a valid ticket.

When your account is terminated, the amount of your refund will be pro-rated based on the date you notify us that you are canceling. Any fees due until that time will be deducted either from the monthly rent or the security deposit, whichever is applicable. The cost for a lost key card is $20.00
