Payment may be in the form of coins, bills, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover. There is an option to print a receipt. The pay-by-space lots will be enforced hourly, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
There may be occassions when the numbers painted on the pay-by-space parking lots will become covered with snow or cannot be read. When this happens the pay-n-display option on the machine should be selected and the receipt placed on the vehicle dash board.
