My spies tell me that the rates in Syracuse are:
On Street
.75 per hour 2 hour max (time limit not effectively enforced)
Off Street
$2.00 per hour with $6.50 daily max
$75 per month
What is my motivation to park off street and make room for more parkers on street? Soo, what do the parking rates force parkers in Syracuse to do? Simple — I will cruise around until I find a parking space on street, thus causing congestion. Rather than pay much more for my two hours off street ($1.50 on street vs $4 off street).
