Reminder to everyone that DC parking meter rates are increasing this month, starting today. If the meter was a $1/hr, it’s going to $2/hr. All other meters are going up .25, so .50/hr meters are going to .75/hr and so on.
DDOT said they are in the process of updated all the 15,453 meters in the District to reflect the rate increases, and are expected to be updated by April 30.
Ben H. Rome: Writer by day...and by night. My wife and I are happy Pittsburgh transplants to the region, going on five years now. I jabber mainly about museums and arts, as well as complain endlessly about WMATA. You may catch me wandering around DC like a tourist at times with my camera. I will admit that even though my heart is entwined with this fantastic region and its people, I will never relinquish my allegiance to my beloved Penguins. If you're interested in my mundane life as a writer, feel free to follow me on Twitter. Find out why I love living here. And if you've got a museum or other cultural event coming up, drop me a line at bhrome AT welovedc DOT com; I'd love to cover it or at least announce it for you.

One Response to “Meters Up! (No Joke)”

Many of the meters have been updated for a couple weeks, much to my chagrin. Why can’t DC adopt the iPark model? I have having to carry a bucket of change to park in the city. 8 quarters for an hour? Craziness.
