• Orlando parking meters will be removed as city shifts to digital payments (wdbo.com) — Orlando is removing most downtown parking meters and fully switching to ParkMobile digital payments, with all changes taking effect by Oct. 1. Drivers will see new rates, enforcement hours, and citation fees, and are urged to read posted signs closely since rules can vary by block. You can manage and extend parking sessions directly from the ParkMobile app.
