( Cincinnati ) - Drivers will be paying more to park in the city starting this week.

Last month, a $0.25 rate increase was announced, and that increase will go into effect on parking meters this Thursday, September 21 at 3am.

A statement from the city says this is the first meter rate increase in Cincinnati neighborhoods in seven years. Rates in the Central Business District and Over-the-Rhine went up in 2015 when parking zones were created. Below is a map of how those zones will change in those areas.
