Decatur goes to high-tech parking meters
Drivers can use their cell phones to pay for metered parking
Wednesday, November 05, 2008
Hey brother can you spare a dime?
You won’t have to ask that question in Decatur anymore, at least not if you’re trying to park and lack the coins
The city has adopted new technology that allows drivers to pay for metered parking using a cell phone. The hi-tech meters are operating at the E. Court Square and N. McDonough Street lots at the heart of the city, adjacent to the downtown MARTA plaza and restaurant row.
They work with a phone call to 678-791-4116. An automated message will guide parkers through their first use, which is free. The transaction will yield a personal ID and password via text message. To use it again, the information will have to be logged into a Web site, www.goparknow.com, where a paid account will be established.
