Plugging your meter - priceless
Submitted by markjohnson on 2009-06-22 20:15Car owners who find no coins in their cupholders could resort to a Mastercard or Visa to pay their parking meter in Raleigh and Chapel Hill under a bill approved by the House Monday night.
House members voted 112 to 5 to approve a bill that would allow the cities to install parking meters that can be paid by credit card or other electronic means.
Raleigh officials intend to eliminate free parking downtown, but lawmakers pushing the credit card-friendly parking meters bill said there is no connection between the two actions. The bill goes back to the Senate for agreement on a House amendment.
