UPCOMING PUBLIC WORKSHOPS: The County Manager's Commercial Parking Working Group is looking for feedback on their recommendations regarding how to mitigate the impacts, if any, of developers' building less parking than the County's current standard for site plan office buildings. A presentation of the recommendations followed by an informal discussion will take place on:

May 16th 10am - 12pm, County Building, 2100 Clarendon Blvd., Cherry & Dogwood Conference Rooms

May 21st 7pm - 9pm, Washington-Lee High School, The Little Theater

Parking is a key piece of the transportation puzzle. As a limited resource that’s often in high demand, Arlington County manages on-street parking (over 53,000 spaces) to:

  • balance competing needs (transit, customers, residents, delivery vehicles)
  • move people and goods efficiently
  • support business district vitality
  • create livable neighborhoods
The majority of the off-street spaces within garages and surface lots (over 100,000 spaces) are owned, maintained and managed by the private sector. Arlington encourages the use of off-street parking through signage and promotional materials.
