Madison plans to implement a new pay-by-phone feature in parking meters near the Capitol later this year.
This new feature allows people to dial a number, enter a parking spot number and have the parking cost charged to a credit card without returning to their vehicle. There will likely be an additional $0.45 fee for this service, according to City Parking Operations Manager Bill Knobeloch.
Knobeloch said the pay-by-phone feature will be added to parking meters in the Capitol State Street garage on the West Johnson Street side and will provide a better parking experience downtown by preventing parking tickets.
“Why should you get a ticket for misjudging time?” Knobeloch said.
