The parking meters use a solar-powered battery system with a highly visible expiration time indicator. The meters have real-time communication capabilities, which allow web-based identification of broken meters and instant processing of credit card transactions that use the highest level of security. Information in the meter window displays parking rates, hours and days when payment is required, and notes parking restrictions.
The County expects to eventually replace all on-street meters in the County’s other two parking districts in Wheaton and Montgomery Hills and is also assessing the best options for upgrading meters in lots and parking garages.
More information about parking in Montgomery County is available on the Division of Parking's website.
