What to Know About the City’s New Parking Program

Medford is launching a new parking program in January. The program includes meters in city squares, increased enforcement, and an online hub, www.parkmedford.org, that has important information about the new system and allows online payments.

When does the new program go into effect?

According to the city website, the new parking program will “be live” as of January 5, 2015. This includes the meters in the business districts and residential and business permits.
