It’s “out with the old and in with the new” for many parking spaces in the City of Harrisburg.
Harrisburg’s central business district, Forster Street to Market Street (north to south), and Front Street to 3rd Street (west to east) now features 40 multi-space, on-street pay stations for more than 1,300 parking spaces, and more are on the way.
Harrisburg’s New On-Street Pay Stations
See the video demonstration of the new on-street pay stations HERE.
These upgraded pay stations include higher rates and longer enforced hours, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, at a standard rate of $3 per hour, payable in 15 minutes increments by cash (quarters) or credit card. You also may enter your cell phone number to add money to your space via text message.
Any space that features old meters fall under the “old” guidelines, meaning, the old payment rate from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Cash keys will no longer be accepted at the new pay stations. However, customers may visit the Park Harrisburg office at 223 Walnut Street in Harrisburg to obtain a new Smart Card.
Meters are color coded to show parking time limitations: orange/black stripe – 30 minutes, red – 2 hour limit, yellow – 4 hour limit, and green – all day parking.
The majority of the parking meters are located in the central business district and the downtown area with additional parking meters in the midtown area and in the vicinity of Polyclinic Medical Center.
There are nine (9) handicap parking meters located throughout the downtown area all of which have a two-hour time limit with a one-hour grace period after the two hours.
There is no charge for meter parking on Sunday and major holidays, which include New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
