The Gainesville City Commission directed city staff to revert to the parking fee structure in place prior to January 2022. These modifications are complete and enforcement is being applied accordingly.

Staff has removed payment requirements from all downtown spaces that were previously free. Parking spaces that required payment prior to Jan. 3 remain paid parking. Additionally, all on-street parking meters and surface lot meters have been reprogrammed according to previous fee structures and time limits. For spaces whose parking fees were lowered, including those found in the city’s parking garage, fees have been returned to prior levels.

Neighbors whose vehicles are parked in spaces requiring payment may pay online at ppprk.com, through the downloadable Passport Parking app or over the phone by calling 352-290-3700, or via coin meter if present.

Staff will continue to gather input from businesses owners and neighbors as we work to update the parking program for future consideration by the City Commission.
