SUMMARY: The city of Jackson is starting a new way of collecting parking payments in downtown, replacing 800 old parking meters with a new kiosk parking system provided by S-P-Plus. The rate will be one dollar per hour and drivers can pay with cash, card, or an app. The city admits that parking enforcement has been lacking in the past and hopes to increase revenue by capturing parking payments more effectively. Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba states that the city has been collecting less than half a million dollars in parking revenue each year with the old meters and is eager to improve this with the new system.

City of Jackson hopes new parking kiosks will bring in $2M annually
