Jackson Mayor addresses new downtown parking kiosk
SUMMARY: The City of Jackson, Mississippi introduced a new paid parking program in early May 2024, featuring parking kiosks by SP Plus. Despite the new system, many residents are still adjusting. Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba believes the modernized payment method will boost city revenue for further improvements. Parking will now cost $1 per hour, with a two-hour maximum span to ensure availability. Operating weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., this initiative aims to enhance city responsiveness and business orientation. Long-term parking in garages or off-street facilities is encouraged, and drivers can use text-to-pay for convenience.
