| PAY STATION | Pay station dashboard receipts can be used at any metered space throughout Portland, and are valid even if the car is moved to other spots within the city. However, posted time limits for spaces apply regardless of receipt’s expiration time. |
| METERS | After posted time limits, the vehicle must be moved to a new spot. $2.50 per hour, with most allowing a two hour maximum. |
| MOBILE PAY | Keep your eyes peeled for Passport Parking signs posted in designated parking zones, including meters. All you’ll need is a smartphone and the PassportParking app. Notifications are sent when time is running out, so you can extend your time remotely! Posted time limits are expected to still apply. Make sure to read the fine print, not all meters are operated by the same companies, some have much higher fees. Just be sure to read before you pay! |
