Beginning May 8, only people who have disability placards and tags can park at these meters in the Central Business District. Others will be fined $250.

It also shows how much spaces cost in the demand-based parking areas.

DDOT is reprogramming nearly 15,000 parking meters so they all cost $2.30 an hour.

D.C. officials have been promising credit card payment options in taxicabs for months. But by summer it might actually happen.

A panel of D.C. judges overturned a $35 million contract that would bring smart meters to the city’s 6,500 cabs, meaning that paying with a credit card might still be a few months off.

And if you’re using a car to do any of these things on weeknights inside the…

Photo by Kevin H. We’ve heard from several readers who spotted fliers around town in the last week advertising a taxi cab strike in the District today. The strike is reportedly to protest the effect the current taxi meter rates have on cabbie income (many argue they now make less money). WTOP has also heard about the strike, but they say participation is spotty, so you can still get a cab if you need…
