Parking Zones to be Updated Starting Sept. 3
The Town of Brattleboro will be modifying its parking zones on Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2025. To prepare for this transition, parking will be free on Tuesday, Sept. 2.
Parking zones will be renamed using numbers only to streamline the payment process. Rather than typing the word "zone" followed by a number, users will simply enter a string of numbers when paying through the Park Smarter app or Text to Pay system. For example, rather than typing “Zone1,” users will enter “05301.” Signs throughout the downtown area will be relabeled and color-coded to match the new parking map.
To ensure users don't accidentally pay for parking in the wrong zone, three municipal lots (High Grove, Harmony, and Preston) will now include adjacent streets. Rates and time limits in these areas have been standardized. Starting Sept. 3, the zones will be modified as follows:
| Short-Term Parking | Color | Max Time | Hour | 30 Mins | 15 Mins |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
05301 |
Yellow | 2 hours | $1.50 | $0.75 | $0.40 |
| 05302 (formerly Zone2) Preston Lot & Flat St. |
Orange | 3 hours | $1.50 | $0.75 | $0.40 |
