Prepaid meter parking cards for $10 and $20 now available at five locations in Providence.
(Spanish translation here | En Espanol aqui)
The ProvPass parking meter card is now available at five locations in the City of Providence, making it easier for drivers to park in the city to do business and enjoy all that Providence has to offer.
The ProvPass smart card can be used to pay meters throughout the City, so drivers don’t need to carry quarters in their pockets. ProvPass is available in $10 and $20 denominations. Users swipe the card in the meter when they arrive and when they leave. The meter calculates the amount of time used and deducts the appropriate amount from the card.
The ProvPass, which is available for $10 and $20, can now be purchased in Providence City Hall at the Tax Collector’s Office, room 203, the Board of Licenses, room 101, the Municipal Court at the Public Safety Complex, 325 Washington Street, at the Traffic Engineer’s Office, 60 Ernest Street, and at AAA’s downtown Providence branch office at 55 Dorrance Street.
Once you know how, it’s easy to use ProvPass –
