Ten-hour metered parking is now available on Langdon Street, between Wisconsin Avenue and Henry Street and on Railroad Street, which runs between Blair and Blount streets (adjacent to the Madison Gas & Electric parking lot and main entrance).

These meters differ in both price and time limit from other metered and zoned parking. The rate for these meters is $.50 per hour, which compares to $1.25 per hour for all other downtown meters. And the extended time limit of ten hours compares to shorter-term parking limits of 15 minutes to 2 hours offered in other parking areas. The Campus ramp near the campus end of State Street and the Government East ramp between Wilson Street and Doty Street offer hourly parking for $1.10 per hour.

These new ten-hour meter areas are designed to serve as Park and Walk areas and provide a less expensive alternative for long-term parkers.
