Winter is coming and with it, snow. Snow can make every chore seem more tedious. However, CPM aims to make this a little less of an inconvenience to parkers this year.

CPM is making modifications to its Pay Boxes by installing covers on the credit card and receipt slots. Before CPM began installing the nearly 4,200 Pay Boxes throughout Chicago, motorists had to remove snow and ice from the City’s old Pay Boxes before operating them. That inconvenience will be a thing of the past. The credit card and receipt slot covers repel snow and ice, making it easier to complete a credit card payment and retrieve a receipt. 

The project is expected to be fulfilled before January 1, 2010.

CPM wants drivers to have a positive parking experience and is committed to providing such an experience. Therefore, if you find a broken Pay Box, please report it by calling 1.877.242.7901 or visiting the “contact us” section of Chicagometers.com.
