Metered Parking

New York City uses some of the most sophisticated parking equipment available today. We are always making improvements and upgrades to the system and you can always check back with us here for the latest enhancements. All meters accept coin payment. Select muni-meters accept credit cards. And at select locations you may pre-pay for parking using the NYC Parking Card.
