How to Use the New Parking Pay Stations

Parking meters and pay stations are in effect from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday citywide, and 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays. Parking is free on holidays*. The majority of meters and pay stations charge $1.50 per hour ($2.00 per hour starting January 1, 2020) in 2 hour or 4 hour maximum parking zones.   Zones with a 20 minute or 12 hour maximum times will be charged at $0.50 an hour.
