Parking - Office of Transportation

The Office of Transportation is responsible for developing and implementing parking policies and programs that serve the needs of residents, employees, and visitors, while also supporting City transportation and environmental goals.

Check out the Parking Action Plan to learn more about the City's parking programs and policies, and to provide feedback on current or proposed policy implementation strategies. 

IMPORTANT COVID-19 UPDATE: Enforcement of on-street parking restrictions in commercial and residential districts resumes May 3, 2021. Public garage and lot time restrictions will continue to be temporarily suspended until state and county color tiered Covid19 restrictions are rescinded, though any parking concerns that present an immediate hazard will still be ticketed.

Uplift Local & Public Parking

Portions of University Avenue and California Avenue will continue to be closed to through traffic to support in-street dining and retail experiences as part of the Uplift Local program. While local Downtown and Cal Ave. visitors & employees are encouraged to walk and bike, any visitors arriving by automobile are encouraged to Park Free at the City’s public garages and surface lots. Time restrictions, fees, and permit requirements are currently waived. Local business staff and employees are encouraged to utilize garage and lot availability to prioritize commercial curb space for pickup/dropoff, and active loading/unloading.

Please Note: Restricted areas such as red curbs, spaces designated for persons with disabilities, and any other locations prohibited by law are always in effect.
