Greenville’s Uptown parking enforcement starts today

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - The Uptown Greenville Parking Plan is going into effect Monday.

The city’s latest version of the parking plan was supposed to start on May 1st, but the brakes were put on later that day until May 15th to ensure program software for kiosk and parking deck payments were ready for use.

The new plan was originally scheduled to begin January 1st with the first month as educational, but city council decided to extend the grace period until March after the city received several complaints.

Changes to the plan then were announced on March 21st, with the month of April being another grace period for parkers.

The city says starting today, paid parking uptown will be enforced.

Enforcement hours are Monday - Friday from 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM.
All on-street and surface lot parking receives 2-hours FREE as long as your vehicle is registered appropriately via the Passport Parking App, through a kiosk, or over the phone.
Surface lots are $0.75/hour charged in 15-minute increments with no maximum time limit (excluding the Chico’s lot).
On-street parking is $1.00/hour with a 3-hour maximum.
Make sure to download the Passport Parking App and get it set up with your vehicle and payment information. Find details on this here: https://greenvillenc.gov/government/parking/passport-parking-app
