Parking
Parking enforcement in the Town of Brattleboro is in effect every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., except for town-observed holidays. The Parking Enforcement Office has temporary relocated to the Brattleboro Municipal Center at 230 Main Street. Email the Parking Enforcement Department at [email protected].
There are several ways to pay for parking:
• Kiosks: Use the kiosks throughout town to pay with coins or credit card. No smartphone required.
• App: Use the Park Smarter app, which is available on mobile devices from the Google Play Store for Android or Apple Store for iOS. The app is especially helpful for those who regularly park downtown.
• Text: Text “Pay” to 77447. The new Pay by Text option is a faster alternative for visitors who would like to park quickly, without needing to download the app.
• Accessible Parking: Those with a disabled parking placard or a disability license plate may park in any LEGAL parking space without paying. The space can be designated as a handicap-accessible parking space or any other LEGAL parking space.
