Parking fees for the Downtown Transit Center and Marine Parking Garage have been restructured. The costs of monthly and annual parking permits increased on July 1, 2022 and incremental increases will continue the following three years. Parks & Recreation Director George Schaaf presented at the Public Works & Facilities Committee on April 11, 2022. Read his memo and see his presentation on the Parking Management Fund Balance here.
The fees to park at the two garages have not increased for more than a decade, though the cost of operating the facilities continues to rise. Between fiscal years 2015 and 2022, increases in utilities, insurance, maintenance, and contractual services drove a 33% increase in operating costs. Revenue has remained relatively flat since 2015, except for a decline in FY20 due to the pandemic.
The cost for hourly parking at the Marine Parking Garage, Shoppers Lot, and North Franklin Lot is remaining the same at $.75 per hour.
