Downtown Mesa
Parking Program
Works for Everyone!
Convenient
Ample Availability
Downtown Mesa’s Parking Program is an innovative, area-wide
parking system utilized by more than 10,000 daily customers in free
spaces and more than 3,400 employees in long-term permit spaces.
This unique
parking program was developed to accommodate the considerable business
growth in Downtown by giving top priority to
free and convenient parking for all of Downtown Mesa’s
customers and clients.
Free
on-street, all-day parking is also offered to Downtown
employees within a one to two block walk of most businesses. In
addition, specific parking lots and parking garages with long-term
leasable spaces are available for employees who opt not to utilize the
free on-street parking within a few blocks walk.
The purchase
of a parking decal allows you to park anywhere within the signed permit
required areas between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through
Friday. Time limits for decals are not in effect on Saturdays, Sundays,
and City of Mesa holidays.
Free
customer day passes are provided to customers who plan to park
in public parking lots or garages beyond the posted time limits. These
free customer day passes are available through businesses and Downtown
Mesa Association upon request. Non-customer use of free day passes is
not valid and will be cited.
The overall
Downtown Mesa Parking Program is managed by Downtown
Mesa Association under contract with the City of Mesa. (scroll up
for contact information).
Payment Information
A long-term
permit decal payment structure has been established for employees who
choose to park in restricted spaces.
Billing
statements will be mailed by the 20th of each month and payment is due
by the 10th of the following month. If payment is not made by the due

All parking
decals must be returned to Downtown Mesa Association (58 West
