Multi-Space Parking Meters
The Town of Bedford utilizes multi-space parking meters for metered parking in select parking lots. These meters allow customers to park in a numbered space (remember the space number) proceed to the parking pay station, pay the parking fee and without returning to their vehicle proceed to their destination. Length of stay depends upon the location of the parking lot. The lots are not staffed with an attendant. Further information can be obtained by calling Parking at 666-8097.

Daily Parking Permits
Due to the increased use of the metered spaces by residents of surrounding communities, daily parking permits are available to Town of Bedford residents. Many residents feel that the ability to acquire a daily permit ahead of time for the date of their activity or appointment is an important quality of life issue as a Town of Bedford resident.

3)Advance sales of daily parking permits will not exceed 3 months prior to the valid date of the permit. Lost permits will not be replaced.

Office hours are Monday to Friday 8:30am – 4:30pm. Online daily permits sales will not be available. Payment can only be made via cash or check (made payable to the Town of Bedford).
