The system is as the name and implies: pay at any pay station on Main Street or in the Brew Pub Lot and display your receipt time side up on you vehicle dashboard. (Motorcycles should display where visible -- a rubber band holding the pay stub around a handlebar works best).
Popular in Europe, this system is quickly spreading across the United States and Canada. In addition to Park City, pay stations of this type can be found in Breckenridge, Telluride and Aspen, Colorado; Whistler, British Columbia; Tempe, Arizona; Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale and Miami, Florida; Portland, Oregon; Austin and Galveston, Texas; and in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles County, and Toronto. Pay-and-display is one of the fastest growing segments in the North American parking industry.
Benefits to the motorist are:
- Pay stations allow multiple payment options, such as coins, credit cards, stored-value cards and tokens.
- Receipts are printed for tax records and dispute resolution.
- One receipt can be used for several errands at different ends of town.
If you frequent downtown often, and digging for change or using a credit card is not your cup of tea, Park City has some prepaid options available, the Quickcard or the In-Car Meter. |
