Scanning Expired Parking Passes

A parking pass is considered expired if the "Will Remove By" date has passed.

If the parking pass has a date written on it in red marker, refer to Red-Tagged Parking Passes instead of this guide.

If the parking pass is on an object that needs to be moved, regardless of expiration status, refer to Re-locating Member Projects

Open your smartphone's camera app and point it at the QR code.

A link should appear. Tap on the link and you will be prompted to login to the member dashboard.

If your phone is unable to scan QR codes, you may need to leave this tasks to another volunteer. There is currently no other way to generate an email template.

Try to include the entire project in a single image. You can only include one photo, so make it count.

Enter additional information in the "Comments" section.

If you were unable to include the entire project in a single photo, describe the components of the project here.

The email that will be sent is pictured above. What you enter in this section will be displayed under "Additional Comments."

Calculate a "Red-Tag" date. This date will be two weeks out from the date you scanned the parking pass.

For the purpose of this guide, this parking pass was scanned on 11/20/2023. This would make the "Red-Tag" date 12/4/2023.

Write the new date on the parking pass, using the white space next to the QR code.

Other volunteers will use this date to determine when to remove the parked items. Refer to Red-Tagged Parking Passes for more information.
