Extra shopping time with Miami’s free parking for extra hour

Written by Miami Today on December 11, 2017

The Miami Parking Authority once again gets in the holiday spirit with the return of its “Holiday Parking Courtesy Citation Program,” to give back to the community by helping customers avoid getting parking citations.

Created more than a decade ago, the program will be in effect 24 hours a day, from Dec. 15 at 12:01 a.m. through Jan. 1 at 11:59 p.m.

The program applies to all on-street parking spaces that the authority manages. All customers who purchase parking at a single-space meter, Pay by Plate master meter, or via the PayByPhone app, will be eligible.

Once the parking session has expired, they will receive a special Holiday Courtesy Citation explaining that they have been granted up to one free hour of parking beyond their expiration time.
