City of Milwaukee virtual parking permits go on sale Dec. 20th

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- City of Milwaukee residents who wish to park their vehicles overnight on City streets can buy their 2014 virtual parking permits beginning Friday, December 20th.

When residents buy the annual or 4-month overnight permit, there will be no physical sticker for their vehicles. Instead, purchasers will receive a confirmation number, and their license plate becomes their permit. Parking enforcement officers will scan the license plates of cars parked overnight on city streets to determine if a valid parking permit has been purchased.

“The City of Milwaukee is looking forward to better serving our overnight parking customers by eliminating the physical overnight parking sticker,” said Department of Public Works Commissioner Ghassan Korban. “A virtual permit will help eliminate customer service problems arising from misplaced or stolen permits, plus purchasing them will be easier.”

How to purchase a new 2014 virtual night permit:
