*This will begin in Summer 2017. Pay by License Plate is a system that allows a vehicle to park in a space using their license plate number instead of placing a receipt on the dash. The driver or occupant of the vehicle remembers their plate number, inputs it into the pay station, pays for the amount of time they need and then goes to their desired destination. Receipts are optional. There is no need to return to the vehicle to place a receipt on the dash. If your time is running out and additional time is needed you can purchase additional parking time remotely through your smartphone app without having to return to the pay station. Parking enforcement personnel are able to identify vehicles that are paid electronically by reviewing the license plate number.
While all parking meters and pay stations will accept coins and credit cards, not all pay stations will accept cash. The pay stations with historically high usage of cash payments will continue to accept cash, coin and credit cards. In other areas of the City, the pay stations will mostly accept coin and credit card
If you park at a malfunctioning pay station you should find another pay station to make your payment. If a parking meter malfunctions please call 404-201-5396 to report the malfunction. After calling in all parking meter time limits will still apply to parking (i.e. 1 or 2 hour parking limit).
