Parking Meters
The Parking Services Department is responsible for the installation and Maintenance of parking meters.
Electronic SmartCard Parking Meters
To move ahead with better technology and up to date parking meters with an audit trail,
the mechanical meters will be phased out and replaced with electronic meters.
These electronic meters will have the capability to accept smartcards, which
can be purchased from the Parking Services Office. They will also permit parking
management to audit the amount of revenue that is deposited into the meters prior
to collection, which is not a function of the mechanical meters.
Sixty electronic long term (12 hour) parking meters will be installed in the Liberty Way
Parking Lot on the north side of the lot at the East Elm Street entrance for a six
(6) month trial period beginning in June 2006.
The electronic meters will still have the capability to accept quarters in addition
to the Smart Card. Now you won't have to hunt for quarters when you want to park
at a meter! Smart Cards are the size of a credit card, so they fit conveniently
in your wallet or pocket.
To pay for parking with your Smart Card, simply insert it into the slot on the
parking meter. The meter will read the tiny microchip embedded in your card
and show you how much money is left on your Smart Card.
Your card will automatically begin adding time to the meter in 25¢ increments,
deducting that amount of money from the remaining value on your card. When you
reach the desired amount of time on the meter, remove your card from the slot.
Cards will not add time beyond the meter's pre-set limit, or if purchasing
additional time would carry you into a time when parking is prohibited on
that block. For example, if your meter is programmed for two hour parking,
you will not be able to pay for more than two hours. Similarly, if you park
in a space at 3:30 PM that is zoned No Parking 4 PM - 6 PM, you will only be
able to pay for 30 minutes using your Smart Card.
Smart Cards are re-loadable and can be purchased and funds added/re-loaded at
the Town of Greenwich Parking Services Office Monday through Friday
8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. They are available in $10 - $20 - $50 increments.
