DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) - The City of Dayton is making it easier for you to park downtown.

The city announced Wednesday that about 500 permit parking meters that accept credit cards are being installed.

30 to 40 percent of the meters in the downtown area will now be credit friendly.

Most will be around Sinclair Community College.

Officials say it could help bring people downtown.

"They actually put these meters in Columbus and Cincinnati and both cities have experienced a large increase in usage," said Steve Finke, Asst. Director of Public Works.

Adding the meters will cost the city $200,000.

Officials say it will be a couple months before the meters are all installed.
