On July 26, 2012, an event featuring Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and Pittsburgh Parking Authority officials formally activated the first installation of a new generation of multi-space parking meters that, by late  September 2012, will result in the removal of some 3,000 of the single-space, on-street meters now in place across the city. Mayor Ravenstahl’s ceremonial purchase of a Federal Street space triggered the operation of 12 meters surrounding PNC Park and established Pittsburgh as the first American city to adopt, on more than a pilot basis, the cutting-edge, pay-by-plate technology the new meters employ.
