GREEN CARS PARK FREE IN SALT LAKE CITY

In Salt Lake City, sustainability and climate protection are top priorities of the Mayor Anderson Administration. Salt Lake City is offering free metered parking to residents whose vehicles get 50 miles per gallon, have low emissions or are powered by an alternative fuel. "It's yet another piece of the puzzle" Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson said. Utah offers an income tax credit of up to $3,000 for residents who buy clean fuel vehicles and electric hybrids. Utah's biggest city is joining the list of smaller municipalities offering free parking to green vehicles. New Haven, Connecticut, Fresno, California, and Albuquerque already offer free parking meter programs. Austin, Texas, also recently approved a green vehicle incentive that provides $100 in free parking.
