New Parking Meters Text You When You're Running Out of Time

Posted by Jerry Bader on

And if you selected the option when you first fed the meter, it will allow you to add more time with a credit card, simply by texting back. Makes you wonder how long it will be before we don't pay for anything with cash. It probably also means less turnover of parking spaces. And I was surprised at how many Wisconsin cities have these "smart meters" already.

And yes, paying with a credit card means your parking practices can now be tracked.
