The City of Santa Barbara is evaluating how we fund and operate the Downtown Parking system to ensure the long-term sustainability of this important community resource. The goals of this effort include:
-
Developing a funding model that generates sufficient revenues to fund the parking operation, maintenance of facilities, and Downtown community priorities.
-
Increasing operational efficiency and controlling costs.
-
Making the parking system easy to use and accessible to all of our guests.
-
Aligning our operation with community priorities.
