Meter Finder started with a simple question: where can you legally park at a meter, and what will it cost? Rather than rely on outdated signage photos or guesswork, we went to the source: LADOT for Los Angeles, NYC DOT for New York City, SFMTA for San Francisco, Louisville Metro PARC for Louisville, and DDOT for Washington, D.C.
We cleaned and organized all five inventories into a searchable directory and map: nearly 35,000 metered spaces in Los Angeles, over 15,500 in New York City, nearly 38,700 in San Francisco, over 3,200 in Louisville, and over 4,400 in Washington, D.C. — each tagged with an ID, address, meter type, rate or status, and posted time limit where available.
This is a parking reference, not a live availability tracker — it won't tell you if a specific space is occupied right now. It maps where each city has installed metered parking, what's posted, and how long you can stay, so you can plan your trip before you're circling the block.
All five directories are static snapshots; each city updates its inventory periodically, so treat details as reference, not gospel. Posted curb signage always governs — always confirm rates, hours, and restrictions on-site before you park.
