How is the order of the waiting list going to be established?
The order of each waiting list is established by the order of the entry forms received. Each entry form is time stamped when received and entered on the indicated list in the order received. A verification form with the number assigned is sent to each individual entered on each list for their records. A book of all entry forms received is kept for confirmation purposes if there are any questions regarding the entry of an individual on either list. Once permits are available, notices are sent in order of the list for that permit.

How do I report a problem with a meter?
If you park at a broken meter, you can call (973) 680-8960 to report the problem. Please have the number posted on the meter and its location, if possible, to give to the staff when calling. A meter technician will be sent, as soon as reasonably possible, to check the meter and repair it if necessary. It is always best to call within 24 to 48 hours after the discovery of a broken meter so the repair can be performed. A maintenance log is kept of all repairs on meters, whether reported by the public or a member of the parking staff.
