Please continue the pilot! I would advise rampant sharing of information: Color-coded signs indicating high/med/low(no $$$ rate--it always changes), but also post the cost & location of off-street garages for comparison. Get this to all hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions, and institutions. All retail cashiers and clerks should be experts in order to keep customers coming back and staying.
On-street is short-term temp spots to maintain turnover; off-street is unlimited time. The cost of on-street should be relative to off-street daily rates(the operators have already done the long-term research on this). If you don't want to be hassled,go off-street. If you're in a hurry, go on-street.
Here in NYC the fines are more costly in Manhattan CBD. Would SF consider keying fines to rates? Also remember municipalities must cover their costs so they must maintain cash flow. There's the temptation--kill the golden goose by taking out excessive revenue! Remember OTB in NYC. I'm sure you can think of other mistakes.
Good luck.
