Think the government is trying to nickel and dime you? Do your research.
On federal holidays, such as President’s Day, public parking is free for Syracuse residents. But how many people know that?
We surveyed four Syracuse residents to test their knowledge of this penny-pinching fact and found that none of them knew that there was no charge for parking today.
Many of the people surveyed said that free parking would save a little money for them during hard economic times.
A proposed solution to educate people about free parking is to program electronic parking meters to have a default message informing the driver on the federal holiday.
