About This Guide

Built From Each City's Own Records

Meter Finder started with a simple question: where can you legally park at a meter, and what will it cost? Rather than rely on outdated signage photos or guesswork, we went to the source: LADOT for Los Angeles, NYC DOT for New York City, SFMTA for San Francisco, Louisville Metro PARC for Louisville, and DDOT for Washington, D.C.

We cleaned and organized all five inventories into the searchable directory and map above: nearly 35,000 metered spaces in Los Angeles, over 15,500 in New York City, nearly 38,700 in San Francisco, over 3,200 in Louisville, and over 4,400 in Washington, D.C. — each tagged with an ID, address, meter type, rate or status, and posted time limit where available. Use the city tabs in the directory to switch between datasets.

This is a parking reference, not a live availability tracker — it won't tell you if a specific space is occupied right now. It maps where each city has installed metered parking, what's posted, and how long you can stay, so you can plan your trip before you're circling the block.

  • Los Angeles rates come in three flavors: Flat Rate (one price all day), Time-of-Day (price changes by hour), and Progressive (price increases the longer you stay).
  • New York City meters are tagged by status (Active or Inactive), facility (on-street or off-street), and posted hours, since NYC's open data doesn't publish per-meter pricing.
  • San Francisco meters are tagged by status (Metered, Time-Limited, Unmetered, Permit Only, or Loading Zone) and rate zone, per SFMTA's meter inventory.
  • Louisville meters run a flat $2.25/hr for the first two hours and $3.35/hr after, mostly with a 4-hour max, per Louisville Metro PARC.
  • Washington, D.C. meters are tagged by quadrant (NW, NE, SW, SE) and rate structure (flat or time-of-day), per DDOT's meter inventory.
  • Areas, boroughs, and quadrants shown in the filter are geographic groupings for browsing convenience, not exhaustive legal boundaries.
  • Posted curb signage always governs — always confirm rates, hours, and restrictions on-site before you park.
  • All five directories are static snapshots; each city updates its inventory periodically, so treat details as reference, not gospel.
