Last spring, we began to retrofit the city's over 14,000 parking meters, converting meters from pay and display operation to pay by plate.

With this new system, parking rights are tied to the license plate number and are sent electronically to NYPD's database, eliminating the need to display a receipt on the windshield as proof of payment along with other benefits.
