Single Space "Smart" Meters

Yes, debit cards and credit cards are accepted. (Currently accepting Visa and MasterCard only.)

All credit card data accessed by the machine is encrypted so that it cannot be read by anyone, including city personnel. No credit card information is stored at the meter. All transactions are approved by banks in real-time.

The time at which your parking will expire is located on the meter for your reference.  If you have used the Park Smarter Mobile Application to pay for your space, please reference the app for parking time purchased or remaining, as mobile payments do not always show up on the physical meter itself. 

Vehicles are not allowed to remain parked in any space beyond the time limit. Once the time limit is reached, the vehicle must be moved. Vehicles parked longer than the posted time limit are subject to citation. 

Note whether you have parked in a peak-hour tow-away zone. This information is displayed on the meter pole and digitally on the meter head.

No, receipts do not print at the meter. Once you have purchased parking you are free to be on your way. If you would like a copy of your receipt for your records, this can be accessed any time by visiting myparkingreceipts.com

Enforcement officers will visually enforce the meter and are equipped with a hand-held device that shows which parking spaces have been purchased with the mobile app Park Smarter. If a vehicle is parked in an expired space, a citation will be issued. All metered spaces are enforced 8:00 am – 6:00 pm, Monday – Saturday. View a list of unenforced City Holidays.

Infrequently, a meter will not accept credit or debit card payment but will accept coin payment. Under these circumstances, you will need to pay with coins, mobile app or move to an alternate space.
