Tulsa could soon be the home of more parking meters. The city is considering expanding parking meters in the east side of downtown, near the east leg of the IDL. The city is also looking to extend meter time to eight at night and add Saturdays to the mix.
Over time, the goal is to have all of the antiquated parking meters updated to one centralized meter and management system. Eventually, the City hopes to have a mixture of single space meters and electronic Parking Pay Stations that work together on one platform with all of the types of parking spaces in Tulsa, such as the new back-in parking.
Although funding is currently not available to replace the entire parking meter system in the city of Tulsa, staff will continue maintenance on the old meters as needed, to maintain the systems' integrity.
