Tampa, FL February 17, 2011 – The installation of the new, on-street, solar-powered pay stations in the downtown core was completed in January 2011. As of Monday, February 21, the City of Tampa Parking Division’s courtesy warning program for downtown will no longer be in effect. During the 12-week installation period, the Parking Division issued in excess of 3,200 courtesy warning citations in an attempt to educate motorists and parking patrons on the use of the new pay stations. The pay stations replaced approximately 1,000 of the City’s existing 1,425 single-space meters.
For additional information on the pay stations or for user instructions visit . For questions, please feel free to contact the City’s Parking Division Manager Jim Corbett at (813) 274-8182.

The City of Tampa’s new solar-powered pay stations offer parking patrons more payment options than the standard coin-only meters, making paying for parking more convenient than ever. Not only do the new pay stations accept nickels, dimes, quarters and dollar coins, but also Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards.
“Pay Here” signs with directional arrows accompany each pay station location, directing parking patrons where to pay for their parking. You can pay for your parking at any pay station, regardless of the pay station location. All you need to do is remember your space number.
