Prepayment Now Available at Some City of Columbus Parking Meters

As an added convenience, motorists can now prepay as early as 6 a.m. at certain parking meters in the City of Columbus that start enforcement at 8 a.m.

That’s more than 2,600 of the nearly 4,500 parking meters in the City. Motorists are now able to pay at these meters using a credit card or by using coins beginning at 6 a.m.  The time paid for would start elapsing when the meter officially begins enforcement at 8 a.m. up to the posted time limit.

This will make metered parking more convenient especially for those who have appointments prior to 8 a.m. that will allow them to keep their appointments without having to get back to the parking meter to pay when the meter officially begins enforcement,” said Jennifer Gallagher, Director of Public Service for the City of Columbus.
