LA City only, and only with a HOV sticker. Not sure about the exact borders though.

Albuquerque, another city that allows free meter parking for hybrids, requires a window sticker that can be picked up at the downtown city offices.

The free metered parking for some hybrids (Prius, HCH, Insight, and Ford Escape Hybrid) in the CITY of Los Angeles was in effect for about a year before clean air stickers for a subset of those hybrids were available; the Ford Escape hybrid qualifies for free parking but not clean air stickers. It can be concluded that clean air stickers were not and are not required for the free parking of the specified hybrids in LA.

The wording in the parking info blurb ( http://www.lacity.org/ladot/freepark.htm ) is ambiguous. There are a number of previous threads dealing with this subject and the requirement for clean air stickers never entered into them.

Finding out whether or not you are in LA can be more difficult.

If the street name signs have a navy blue background, you are more likely than not within the Los Angeles City limits.

Any word as to whether the free parking pilot program in Los Angeles has been extended beyond June 30?

With two weeks left for free parking in Los Angeles, surely someone knows or cares if the program is ending or being extended.

Free parking in LA CITY (see link http://www.lacity.org/ladot/freepark.htm) for 2007. No free parking in Beverly Hills. Have to have sticker in Santa Monica.
