Free Two-Hour Holiday Parking at Metered Spaces
The holiday parking program is intended to encourage residents and visitors to shop locally and visit downtown businesses.
The two-hour limit will remain in effect. Parking enforcement personnel will monitor vehicles for compliance, and motorists must continue to follow posted parking restrictions and signs.
Downtown ParkMobile Zones Will Change

Updated signs identifying the new zones will be installed as the changes move forward.
Although the ParkMobile app will prompt users to select a zone when starting a parking session, motorists should check nearby signs and confirm the correct zone before completing payment.
ParkMobile Assistance Available October 26

Two Payment Kiosks Will Be Relocated
The authority plans to relocate two payment kiosks closer to downtown shopping destinations:

- In the 100 block of South Centre Street.
According to the authority, the new locations are intended to make payment options more convenient for motorists visiting downtown businesses.
Additional details about the kiosk relocations and implementation of the updated parking zones will be announced as the projects proceed. Residents, visitors and business owners can follow the Pottsville Parking Authority’s website and official Facebook page for updates.
