Parking

Arlington County's Maximum Parking Rates:

• Rate at Long-Term Meters: $1.50 per hour
• Rate at Short-Term Meters: $1.75 per hour

Parking is a key piece of the transportation puzzle. As a limited resource that’s often in high demand, we manage more than 5,700 on-street parking spaces to:

• Balance competing needs of public transit, residents, visitors and businesses.
• Move people and goods efficiently.
• Support business district vitality.
• Create livable neighborhoods.

The majority of the off-street spaces within garages and surface lots, totaling more than 100,000 spaces, are owned, maintained and managed by the private sector. We encourage the use of off-street parking through signage and promotional materials.
