Parking Meter Modernization
We are converting Boston's parking meters to new and improved models.
Boston is replacing more than 5,600 old parking meters citywide with new parking meters. Here's what you need to know.
- Single and dual space meters will be replaced with multi-space meters, which reduces on-street meter hardware.
- English and Spanish language options will be available to start.
- All new meters will be pay-by-plate, so no more paper receipts to display!
- The new meters will continue to accept payment through the ParkBoston app, quarters (no bills), and Visa, Mastercard, and Discover debit and credit cards.

Why is the City replacing parking meters?
The Meter Modernization project will improve customer service, enhance Boston Transportation Department (BTD) operations and analytics, encourage mobile payments, and reduce on-street meter hardware. The project will also support flexible curb management strategies to create smarter, more efficient streets and plan for future street design changes.
