Spokane, Washington, plans to install meters and kiosks that accept credit/debit cards, coin, mobile and contactless payments, according to a post by Kristin Davis, communications manager for the community and economic development department, on the city's website.

The meters will be color coded according to time limits for better visibility. Customers will be able to see time remaining and receipt of any payment on the meter.

Most of the new meters will be dual space, meaning one for two spaces, versus the current meter for every space, removing about half the downtown meters. The unused posts will be removed or repurposed for bicycle racks.

Outside of the downtown most metered on-street parking spaces will be replaced with kiosks for every six to eight parking spaces.
