Next time you head to that parking kiosk, make sure to print a receipt. Participating downtown merchants are now offering parking validation. Simply follow these steps:
1. Park in a numbered parking space in Gay St. lot or on-street space on College or Magnolia
2. Enter parking number at electronic kiosk and pay for parking.
3. Request receipt after paying.
4. Present current parking receipt at a participating business when checking out.
The receipt must be a current receipt and participating business will keep the receipt at check out.
Our parking meters are a form of parking management that discourages long-term use of the most convenient on-street parking by downtown employees and university patrons and helps ensure that these most desirable spaces are available for our retail and restaurant customers. A two-hour parking limit is enforced from 8 a.m.-6 p.m Monday through Friday. Metered parking is free after 6 p.m. and on weekends.
