    Topline:

    People in Los Angeles can now text to pay some of their public parking meters, the L.A. Department of Transportation announced Tuesday.

    Where: LADOT has partnered with two apps, Park Smarter and ParkMobile, which are available in specific parts of the city, including Larchmont and Little Tokyo.

    How it works: Both options can send you a reminder message when your meter is almost up, and let you add more time without walking back, according to the department.

    What's next: The text-to-pay meters will be expanding citywide.
