The Montclair Demand-Responsive Parking program seeks to improve parking availability by adjusting meter rates according to demand. Meter rates will be adjusted between $0.50 per hour and $4 per hour.
Value Zones have lower parking demand, so rates will go down to encourage parking here. Premium Zones have high parking demand, so rates will go up to free up more parking spaces.
Parking meter rates in Montclair were updated in Fall 2021. See below for table of parking meter rates:
| Parking Zone |
Morning 8am-10am |
Midday 10am-4pm |
Evening 4pm-6pm |
| Premium Rate |
$2.00 |

A map of zones and rates is available to view and download at the bottom of this page. The lowest meter price will be set to ensure parking availability near your favorite destinations in Montclair.

Project History
In August 2014, the city launched the Montclair Flexible Parking District, a pilot program approved by City Council in October 2013. The goal of this initiative was to increase available parking on centrally located streets that are in highest demand and to make finding parking faster and more convenient.
Now part of Park Oakland and OakPark+, parking meter rates will be periodically updated to reflect current demand for on-street parking spaces and improve the parking and mobility experience in Montclair.
