Following are a few parking TIPS to help keep you moving:
- Always read the signs before you park!
- Beware of School Zones. The hour restrictions are enforced.
- Don’t park in Handicap Zones without an official handicap license plate on your vehicle. Those traveling in rented vehicles may obtain a special handicap placard by calling 483-4610.
- Metered Parking, available throughout the city, is designed for short-term parking. Downtown meters usually cost a quarter for 12 minutes and are effective from 8 a.m. - 6 p.m., Monday -Friday. Parking is prohibited at meters in “rush hour zones” from 7-9 a.m. and 4-6 p.m.
- Please read the meters before you park! Signs are posted if designated a “rush hour zone.” During special events, signs are posted or bags are placed over meters in high traffic areas.
- You may not park at a bagged meter.
- Park-N-Shop - Many downtown businesses and department stores offer free or discounted parking with minimum purchases.
- Park-N-Ride: Two Central Business District Shuttle Routes and a Vieux Carre (French Quarter) shuttle are available for your convenience. You may also park outside the downtown area and take a bus or streetcar to your destination.
- Many parking lots offer Early Bird Specials, reduced rates for customers who arrive before 9:00 a.m. Times and rates vary, so shop around for the lot that best fits your needs.
