Current initiatives and plans

Smart Parking Meters Demonstration

Austin Transportation has partnered with Municipal Parking Services to deploy six smart parking meters in two locations: West Sixth Street and Colorado Street. The demonstration project will operate for eight weeks, from July 30 through Sept. 24. The purpose of this demonstration is to test smart parking meter technology and collect data about parking turnover rates and revenue. Residents and visitors can pay for the parking spaces using cash or credit/debit cards.
