New Parking Rates To Go Into Effect Jan. 3

Rate changes in Montgomery County-operated garages, parking lots, and street meters will begin starting Jan. 3 and continue to fluctuate through April of 2022.

According to a county press release, the new rates were adopted as part of the Fiscal Year 2022 budget process, and will be “implemented in stages over the following months.”

The new prices were calculated based on the parking district’s budget and subsequently reviewed by the Montgomery Department of Transportation (MCDOT), the County Executive’s Office, and approved by Council resolution.
