NYC Single-space meters now accept Parking Card

The Department of Transportation has introduced a new pre-paid card, the NYC Parking Card, which is available in $20 and $50 denominations. This card can be used in all New York City municipal parking fields, all muni-meters, and selected single-space meter locations.

- No more pockets full of coins.
