Parking Meter Zones
Two parking meter zones are established by District law: Normal Demand and Premium Demand. When determining which Demand Zone to classify an individual block or facility, DDOT shall consider the need to promote short term access and the turnover of parking space occupancy necessary for equitable availability and efficient use of public parking spaces near commercial, cultural, educational, medical, recreational, and transportation facilities.
ADA Accessible Meters and Space for Persons with Disabilities: DDOT is currently designating one (1) ADA accessible parking meter for every block face that is governed by parking meter equipment. These spaces are not reserved for use only by persons with disabilities. They are simply marked in a manner that easily identifies them as being compliant with the ADA requirements.
ADA accessible 'Red Top' Meters and Space for Persons with Disabilities: In early 2017, DDOT will be designating one (1) accessible parking meter on each metered block for the exclusive use of persons with disabiliites within the Central Business District (CBD). These spaces are reserved for use only by persons with disabilities displaying disability placards and/or tags on their vehicle. These spaces are marked as 'Red Top' meters that easily identifies them as being compliant with the ADA requirements. All users will be required to pay to park in these ADA accessible meter spaces.
