As with other cities out west, Manitou Springs has begun offering free parking to anyone driving a hybrid car.
They join Aspen; Los Angeles; Salt Lake City; San Antonio; Albuquerque; New Haven, Conn.; San Jose; and Santa Monica, Calif. as cities offering this bonus to anyone driving a hybrid vehicle.
Cities and towns offer this perk as an added incentive to those willing to pay the extra money for a hybrid car. In this way, they hope to encourage lower emissions vehicles.
I wonder why they don't look to limit this type of incentive to those vehicles with the lowest emissions. Not all hybrid cars are low emissions, although they are low for their vehicle type. I suppose it's easier to look for a hybrid badge, rather than investigate each cars particulars.
