• We have special parking for residents with disabilities.
• We help with valet parking services.

• We plan for more parking as our city grows.

By the numbers: The Parking Authority manages 13 parking garages and 20 parking lots; 950 multi-space parking meters and over 2,300 single-space parking meters; over 3,600 reserved residential disabled parking permitted parking spaces; and 50 Residential Permit Parking Program areas, distributing over 30,000 permits annually. We also oversee valet parking regulations and a parking planning section.
