East Austin Parking

The City of Austin created a Parking Transportation Management District (PTMD) to improve street parking availability and generate revenue that will contribute to mobility improvement in the East Austin district boundaries. The district was created in partnership with the East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Association and Guadalupe Association for an Improved Neighborhood. The strategy brought forth by the PTMD aims to create more parking space turnover in a high-demand district with more consistent enforcement.

What is a Parking and Transportation Management District (PTMD)?

A Parking and Transportation Management District (PTMD) is a defined geographic area that may include a mix of retail, entertainment, commercial, medical, educational, civic and residential uses in which City Council finds that traffic flow on public streets requires a higher level of management than commonly provided and determines that parking meters will facilitate traffic flow objectives. The PTMD dedicates 51 percent of the public-paid parking revenue, less City expenses, to help with mobility improvements within the established district.
