Smart Cards
Motorists will be able to forgo carrying change for meters soon, if they choose. The board adopted an ordinance amending a township code to allow for “Smart Card” payments at parking meters.
The township will charge customers a one-time $5 fee to purchase the “Smart Cards,” which can then be loaded with any monetary amount up to $100, and used at the township’s parking meters.
