Parking in Arlington County

 

ARLINGTON COUNTY BOARD GUIDANCE ON PARKING FOR COMMERCIAL OFFICE BUILDINGS
At the Saturday, January 21, 2012 Board meeting, the County Manager examined the consequences of reduced parking requirements for certain development projects that provide enhanced Transportation Demand Management strategies consistent with Master Transportation Plan Policy 6.h. Specifically, the County Manager is required to develop a set of standards and methodologies that can be used to fully assess and mitigate the impacts attributable to a reduction of parking in particular site plan projects, and to report back to the Board in June 2012.

50 CENT/HOUR PARKING METER RATES IN SELECTED AREAS
Arlington County has lowered meter rates in certain locations throughout the County.  As part of the trial, the rates at 181 meters were lowered to $.50/hr on March 1, 2011.  Click here for more information.

RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING FEES are pro-rated. Between January 1 and April 15, fees for vehicle-specific permits valid through June 30th are $10 each for the first 2 permits and $25 for the third permit. Contact 703-228-3344 or email Park for more information.


Arlington County has over 53,000 on-street spaces and over 100,000 off-street spaces in garages and lots within the urban areas. The majority of on-street spaces are provided and managed by the County Government, while the majority of off-street spaces are owned, maintained and managed by the private sector. The amount of on-street spaces is limited by the amount of curb space there is in the County, so the County takes its responsibility for managing the spaces very seriously. In addition, the County works with the development community, private building owners and garage operators so that the off-street parking is shared with as many users as possible.
