Permit Parking Options
-
This permit is a month-to-month or long-term contract for parking at a specific facility, allowing customers in and out parking privileges for the specified location 24/7. Parking permits are typically valid from the first to the last day of the month. Businesses can purchase individual or bulk permits.
-
For certain parking facilities, leasing a designated stall or entire zone on a month-to-month or long-term contract may be available. Reserved stall arrangements are limited and may only be available in some locations. This option is more costly than permit parking within the same facility.
-
This program enables a group to share a monthly parking permit by using a digital code through the Flowbird Mobile Payment App. Users can access the shared permit in a public parking area on a first-come, first-served basis, allowing them to enter and exit the parking facility 24/7. This permit is ideal for individuals with non-conflicting schedules who want to share the cost of a parking permit.
-
This program allows individuals to purchase a set number of “uses” each month at a discounted rate, providing an alternative to a traditional monthly parking permit. Users can program and redeem their designated number of “uses” using a digital code through the Flowbird Mobile Payment App. Limited-use permits are valid in public parking areas on a first-come, first-served basis and offer in-and-out parking privileges 24/7 at the specified location. This permit suits individuals who telecommute 2-3 days per week.
-
Some parking facilities offer a discounted permit option for night or weekend access only at specific locations. This permit includes in-and-out parking privileges for the specified location during evenings, weekends, and holidays.
-
This program provides a complimentary monthly parking permit for individuals who hold registered vanpool accounts with public transit agencies. You can use these permits at designated City parking locations, and we assign each permit to one registered vehicle. If you make prior arrangements with management, you can use the vanpool permits for personal vehicles.
Validation Options for Commercial Businesses
Parking validation accounts allow businesses to cover a portion or all of the cost of parking for their customers and employees, encouraging them to park closer to their destinations. For more information and to inquire about a validation account, you can contact Republic Parking Northwest at (253) 627-4401, visit 942 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday, or email rpp@reimaginedparking.com.
