Parking Meters

Parking Meters are located throughout the business districts in the Sun Link Streetcar corridor and range from 1/2-hour to 6-hour time limits. Please note the time limit, which is indicated on both a nearby sign and the meter's LED display. The fine for parking in excess of the posted time limit is $42.

All meters are priced at $1.00/hour, and are enforced Monday - Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm. Metered parking spaces are free after 5:00pm on weekdays and all weekend. The citation fine for parking at an expired meter is $42.

Most meters are "smart" meters that accept payments by mobile app, coins, credit, debit, or Park Smart card. The Park Smart card is your own parking value card, loaded with a balance that is drawn down with each parking meter visit.

Buy a Park Smart card loaded with $25 in parking value for just $20.
Reload your card and get 25% more parking value than you pay for.
Available only at the Park Tucson office at 110 E. Pennington Street, #150

All Park Tucson parking meters can be paid with the GoTucson Parking mobile app. Download this app for free at your smart phone's app store.

Garages and Surface Lots - Daily/Visitor Parking

Visitor parking is available in all six Park Tucson garages and all five Park Tucson surface parking lots. Monday to Friday, from 8:00am to 5:00pm, parking is charged hourly at $1.00/hour. Evenings and weekends, a flat rate for a 12-hour time period applies, flat rates range from $3 to $6.

When you enter a garage, you will have the choice of pressing a green button to receive a ticket that you will use later to pay, or you may insert a credit or debit card directly. Your card will serve as your ticket, and in order to complete payment and exit the garage, you will need to insert the same card at the exit. If you lose the ticket that you receive at the entrance, you will need to pay a $10 Lost Ticket Fee.
