Everytime I park at a broken meter (which is more common now since the rate was raised to $2/hour), I have to call to report the broken meter and get a confirmation number. Then I get a ticket anyway, have to write a letter explaining I have a confirmation code, and then wait for a response that my explanation was accepted. Wouldn't it be more cost effective just to replace all these broken meters with modern machines that accept credit cards?

Brian,
You may be interested in the parking meter pilot programs across the District. Link follows: http://goo.gl/Agkj
The District wants to replace the current meters with next-generation meters (variety of payment options, greater reliability). The intent of the pilot is for drivers to try these different options to make sure that the district picks the option that most drivers like. It sounds like you're the ideal driver to provide this feedback. There is an email and phone number at the end of the article to provide feedback
I think everyone (including DDOT) is looking forward to replacing the meters.
