Parking Paystation Q&A
Downtown Boulder parking meters will be replaced with
new solar powered pay stations that accept both coins
and credit/debit cards. This section addresses questions
posed by patrons of Downtown. If you have a specific
question you would like answered send an email to parking@dbi.org.
Q: What
happens if a pay station doesn’t work?
A: You can always pay
at any other pay station if one does not function.
The pay stations will communicate with the parking
division employees to report a problem. The problem
will be corrected quickly, but until it is fixed,
it is one's responsibility to pay at another unit.
