The City of Saint John just rolled out a new Parking Text Notifications service. This tool sends updates about parking bans, alternate side parking schedules, and other important parking alerts straight to your mobile device.

You must sign up to receive these notifications. According to the City of Saint John, this registration is completely separate from the emergency alert program. You must register for this specific parking service even if you already receive city emergency alerts.

How the Service Works

The city will send text communications during regular business hours whenever possible. This gives you an additional and convenient way to receive important updates as soon as they are issued. The city will also continue posting parking information on its website and social media channels.

The service is free to join and you can opt out at any time. You can sign up by visiting the Text Notifications and Alerts page on the city website.

Monthly Parking Permit Holders

The new text service provides broader citywide notifications. It does not replace existing lot specific communications. If you hold a monthly parking permit, you will continue receiving email notifications regarding disruptions or changes that affect your specific parking lots.
