The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) Parking Management Division completed the replacement
of more than 1,100 on-street parking meters in Silver Spring with new
"smart" parking meter heads that expand payment options. The smart
meters also use a solar-powered battery system, have a highly visible display,
and provide real-time communication capabilities to identify broken meters and
instantly process credit card transactions. Last year, MCDOT replaced over 700
of Bethesda’s on-street meters.
