PITTSBURGH — Parking can be hard to find in Pittsburgh and once you find it, the price you pay could depend on the time you get there, the street you're on and how many spots are available. The new Dynamic Parking plan aims to help the city's budget.
In an effort to fill a $4 million budget shortfall, Pittsburgh City Council and the Parking Authority are considering a system that would increase or decrease parking rates based on demand.
"I will park anywhere else if I don't have to pay more," said Christy Lewis who parks in Oakland.
The idea has been tested at Carnegie Mellon University on four streets over the past two years. Parking revenue increased by $14,000 during the second year of the study.
