Starting on 8/1/2025 for a period of 6 months a pilot program will begin changing the max duration allowed for a paid meter session. All current 90-minute max meters in the Borough will become 120-minute max meters from 10AM through 5PM. The 180-minute max from 5PM to 10PM will remain unchanged.
-This includes the Digital Payment only zones
-Red Housing meters will remain 15-minute max meters
-Hours of Enforcement will remain 10am-10 Monday through Saturday, and on street prohibition of No Parking 2am-6am is still in effect
-Sundays will remain free, Holidays listed in the Ordinance will remain free
After the 6 month period has ended, Borough Council will elect to revert to the previous parameters, or change to a new max time that would be codified.
Please remember, it has always been an infraction to "feed-the-meter" or extend via mobile payments past the max allotted time and leave a vehicle in the metered spot longer than the ordinance allows. Violations may be issued for an Overtime Max duration of a zone.
-If you require longer than the metered limits, please utilize the Beaver Lot or McAllister deck which follow the same rate but allow up to 5 hour sessions.
-Additionally, please remember that the gated garages of Pugh, Fraser and Beaver are 24/7 at a lower rate than meters at $1 per hour.
