The survey also found the following range of rates in effect in Dayton during July and August:

• first hour, weekday - daytime: $1 to $2.50

• daily weekday: $1.50 to $10

• 12 to 24 hours on a weekday: $1.50 to $15

• Evenings on weekdays and weekends: $1.50 to $6

• Monthly rates, reserved: $99 to $145
