New parking meters are coming to Lincoln Park featuring a touch screen. After you park, you’ll enter your information at a nearby pay box:

• Type in your license plate number
• Insert a credit card or coins to pay
• Choose how long you intend to park
• Opt for paper or text receipt

That’s it! Your license plate number identifies that you’ve paid.

The new pay boxes will give you the option of receiving a printed or text receipt that indicates when parking expires, but the receipt no longer needs to be displayed.
The new system only affects motorists who pay for parking using a pay box. The ParkChicago app, which allows drivers to pay for parking using their smartphone and add time to a parking session from remote locations, will remain in place.

All 36,000 metered spots will have the new pay boxes in place by mid-year 2019. A list of where the new pay boxes have already been installed is available at www.ChicagoMeters.com.
