PORTLAND — The city’s Spring and Elm streets parking garages now are using touchless entry and exit systems.
To receive a ticket upon entry, users can wave a hand near the ticket button on the machine and it will dispense a ticket.
Touchless payment options upon exiting the garage include Google Pay, Apple Pay, Paypal and any credit and debit cards that have the contactless logo on them.
Parking payments can also be made via cellphone by downloading the app at PassportParking.com.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
