Affordable Parking Program

The Affordable Parking Program is a City of Austin and Downtown Austin Alliance initiative to reduce economic barriers to Austin community members accessing downtown. Austin service and entertainment industry employees who work downtown can access park options at affordable monthly rates, available as early as 3 p.m. and as late as 7 a.m. during the week, and for up to 24 hours on the weekend, depending on the garage. Limited spaces are available during the City of Austin’s business hours.

For questions, please contact (512) 974-7651 or email AffordableParking@austintexas.gov.

Apply and Pay Fees

Participants now have two ways to pay monthly parking fees in City‑owned garages. Please review the requirements below to choose the option that best fits your needs.

1. Paying through the ZipBy app

(Requires turning in your physical card)

Participants who choose to pay monthly parking fees through the ZipBy app must turn in their physical garage access card to the City of Austin.

Once enrolled in ZipBy:

  • You will use the ZipBy app to enter and exit the garage.
  • Monthly payments must be completed within the app.

ZipBy is the recommended option because it provides a faster, contactless, and more convenient payment and access experience.

Download ZipBy App

 

2. Paying by phone or in person

(For physical card users only)

Participants who do not want to use ZipBy for either payments or garage entry/exit may continue using their physical RFID access card.

These participants must use the traditional monthly payment process:

  • Call Mobility Services at (512) 974‑7857, or
  • Visit 1501 Toomey Road to make monthly payments in person.

Participants who choose to keep a physical card cannot use ZipBy for monthly payments or garage access.
