     New Parking Strategy for the City of Burlingame

    The City is working to improve the parking experience for residents and patrons in the commercial areas, and has implemented several strategies to improve parking conditions. In 2017, the City completed the replacement of approximately 730 coin operated meters with new IPS Group, Inc., single-space smart parking meters in downtown Burlingame Avenue and Broadway commercial core areas. The City will continue the expansion of single-space smart parking meters to the remaining 770 coin operated meters. The new meters accept coins, credit or debit cards, and coming soon can also be paid through a new smart-phone application.
     
    The new smart meters are easy-to-use and reliable, with a big screen that makes it easy to see all of the key information, such as remaining time and time limits.

    HOW IT WORKS

    Whether you're shopping, dining, enjoying culture, nightlife, or events at Downtown Broadway or at Downtown Burlingame Avenue, parking has never been easier. Now you can simply park and swipe, pay with coins, or pay with your smart phone.
