D. C. parking meters now accept credit cards
In some Washington D.C. areas parking meters will now accept credit card payments instead of coins. The new meters will be found in five different locations with short term parking spaces with high turnover rates. The meters will also be able to accept change.
When a credit card is swiped the meter assumes a 45-minute pass for $1.50. Those who are making a brief stop can use small buttons on the face of the meter to add and subtract time as necessary.
