Feedback Requested for Downtown Parking Operations Survey

The City of Santa Barbara invites the community to participate in the Parking Preferences Survey (Survey) to provide input for the City’s Downtown Parking Program. Community feedback will help the City as we assess our parking operations and funding model to ensure long-term sustainability of this important community resource. The Survey addresses downtown on-street parking, public parking lots, parking challenges, and more.

The goal of the Survey is to understand the public’s preferences and priorities to assist with: 

• Developing a funding model that generates sufficient revenues to fund parking operations and facilities maintenance.
• Increasing operational efficiency and controlling costs. 
• Creating an easy-to-use parking system that is accessible to all guests. 
• Aligning operations with community priorities. 

The Survey will be available through Thursday, November 9, 2023.

To participate in the Survey and for more information on the Downtown Parking Operations and Funding Model Study, please visit the website at www.SantaBarbaraCA.gov/ParkingSurvey.
