Residents, Students & Visitors


Residents, employees, students, and visitors commuting to the Downtown area are encouraged to use the multilevel parking facilities located at University Avenue, Pleasant Street, Spruce Street (Public Safety Building), and Wharf Street (Wharf District) because of the amount of parking spaces available; utilizing these open spaces will free metered spaces along City streets for employees and customers shopping/dining Downtown.

Residents and visitors, please note:
Though open to everyone, the garages located at University Avenue and Spruce Street are predominantly used by commuting students, which results in the decreased availability of spaces in these facilities. All of the multilevel facilities are operational 24/7 and commuters pay only for the time they have used. All parking is just $0.50 per hour; however, monthly parking permits are available for these facilities. There are 900 monthly permits issued in the Authority’s long-term facilities and have cost savings up to 50% when compared to paying a daily rate.

Students, please note:
Demand for parking is low in the University Avenue and Spruce Street facilities as a result of increase use of mass transit (i.e., Personal Rapid Transit (PRT), Mountain Line bus system). It is important to note that the University facility is usually fully occupied between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., and begins to empty after 1:00 p.m. The Spruce Street facility (located by the Public Safety building), however, usually has anywhere between 60 and 80 spaces available for parking at all times. It is a short walk from these facilities to the Downtown campus and students are encouraged to take advantage of the available space. All parking is just $0.50 per hour (except University Garage which is $.75/ hour); however, the Authority sells permits by semester for students wishing to park in the University, Spruce, and Wharf facilities, prices are as follows:
  • Storage/Covered, 24/7 parking in University Garage, Spruce Street Garage, and Pleasant Street Garage —$500/semester
  • Storage/Covered, 24/7 parking at Wharf Street Garage - $375/ semester,
  • Wharf Street parking, day only -$200/semester (7:00am to Midnight)
