You can also pay online with one of our convenient and user-friendly mobile pay options:

 Park Mobile        OR       Passport Parking

Can I Purchase a Permit for Parking?
Subject to availability, permits are available for purchase for use in our Riverview or Mason Street Lots. The City of Torrington does not allow for permitted parking on any City streets. Contact Traffic Division for more information.

My Meter Malfunctioned
We work hard to make sure our meters are functioning properly. While we do our due diligence in maintaining our meters, we appreciate it when the public reports issues as they arise. Should you have an issue with your parking meter, please report it to the Traffic Division by phone at (860) 489-2018 or by email at traffic@torringtonpd.org.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have been issued a ticket and feel that the meter was not working properly, you must notify us using one of the above methods within 72 hours of the ticket being issued. You will be notified of the outcome by phone or email.

Why Was I Given a Ticket?
Parking in the City of Torrington is regulated by City Ordinance. Metered parking in the downtown area was enacted to promote short term parking in order to promote more availability to downtown businesses and their patrons. Vehicles parked in restricted zones, on sidewalks, or too near corners/intersections create obstacles to passing vehicles and pedestrians making their use of City streets and sidewalks dangerous.
