When do the meters run?
The City of Rochester regulates parking along certain streets with over 1,600 parking meters, Monday through Friday, from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Before or after these times, parking at a meter is free. During special events such as parades, festivals, or fireworks, or during street construction, meters are often bagged to prohibit parking.
Who maintains the meters?
The Bureau of Parking is responsible for installation, service, and maintenance of parking meters. It also collects revenues and is responsible for purchase of meters.

To report a missing or malfunctioning meter, call 311 (if calling from outside Rochester city limits, call 428-5990). For the bagging of meters, call 428-7986.
How can I request installation or removal of a parking meter?
Individuals requesting removal of existing meters or installation of parking meters in areas that have not previously been metered may call the Traffic Control Board at (585) 428-6942.
