SFpark Overview

Find parking faster. Pay more easily. Avoid tickets. SFMTA’s SFpark project is a two-year federally funded pilot of new parking management technologies and approaches. Less circling and fewer double-parked cars give us cleaner air and safer streets for bicyclists and pedestrians. With less traffic, public transit and emergency vehicles move more easily.

In July through October, the SFMTA will replace existing parking meters with new coin and card meters throughout all eight SFpark pilot areas. Pay with coins, credit/debit cards, and soon with SFMTA parking cards.

Will this affect parking cost?

Where Are The Pilot Areas Image

Yes. Parking rates will be incrementally raised or lowered in SFpark pilot areas based on demand to help make parking easier to find on the street and at City garages. Rates will change no more than once a month and only in small increments.
