15 Why are parking hours changing? Over the last 10 years, drivers have expressed a lack of available on-street parking, especially in the downtown area. On-street parking is meant for convenience for drivers making shorter visits. When parking hours are not limited, on-street parking becomes crowded with long-term parkers, spaces are harder to find, and traffic congestion occurs as drivers circle to find parking. Where can I find parking? While there are about 3,000 on-street parking spaces downtown, there are over 14,000 off-street parking spaces in surface lots and garages. A map of these locations is available at On-street parking spaces north of 10 th Street will remain free to the public after 6 p.m. What if I choose to leave my car overnight? Drivers can buy additional time into the next day the night before by pressing the yellow next day purchase button on the paystation. lace the pay station receipt on your windshield showing pre-payment. How will my money be spent? For every $1 spent, $0.40 goes toward downtown improvement projects including sidewalk improvements, street reconstruction, and other transportation initiatives. To help ensure safety of citizens in the evening, a portion of remaining funds will pay for parking enforcement officers who will provide enhanced security in coordination with the Austin olice Department. What if I forget to pay & get a ticket? If you choose to leave your car overnight and forget to buy extra hours, you could have your ticket dismissed with proof of receipt that you chose an alternate mode of transportation home (e.g. bus or taxi).
