Abstract

Improved single space parking meters capable of accepting payment from a card that stores a monetary amount are described. The single space parking meter includes functionality for reloading a monetary amount to a parking card. The single space parking meter may read account information from the payment card using the card reader and receive an indication of the monetary value to load or reload onto the parking card. The parking meter may communicate with a remote system to authorize a transaction using the payment card's account information for the monetary value. An indication of whether the transaction of the payment card was successful or not is received at the parking meter and the parking meter attempts to load or reload the monetary value to the parking card when the transaction was successful.
