JIM THORPE, Pa. — Paying to park in downtown Jim Thorpe is going to be easier for people who don't always carry coins.
County-owned parking spots will transition to a pay-by-plate kiosk system at previously metered parking spaces and county lots.
"I think it's a good idea. I think it will help out a lot with the congestion in town. I mean, sometimes we get traffic tie-ups during the tourist seasons, so it will help out," said Mike Riley, Jim Thorpe.
