Purchasing this sticker will allow those who utilize municipal parking lots or spaces for extended periods of time to save nearly 70% on the cost of parking. Without the meter sticker, the actual cost of metered time for a full day, or an average eight-hour workday, would be $8 per day, and assuming the need to occupy a metered space on at least 20 days per month, this would have costed an individual $160 per month or $1,920 for the year.
