Amityville LIRR Parking Gets Smart Meter Upgrade

The Village of Amityville has converted its traditional coin-operated parking meters to smart meters, enhancing convenience for commuters and visitors to the Village. Payment may be made electronically via the Flowbird app or at kiosks in the LIRR lot (by quarters or credit card.) Flowbird app users may also opt to add time to their meter if they are running late.

Annual resident and non-resident commuter parking permits will continue to be honored. Hourly rates under the new parking system are 50 cents per hour, which according to Village of Amityville Mayor Dennis Siry is in line with several other Long Island municipalities.

Modernization of the Village’s parking operation is long overdue, Mayor Siry noted.

“We had not changed the meters in decades, and we are pleased to now offer more convenient methods of payment and greater ease of enforcement for our police department and code enforcement officers. Our old meters were limited to 12-hour parking and you needed to feed them with quarters, which was a hassle.”

The Village continues to notify parking patrons of the change and is prepared to help commuters with the transition to the new technology.
