The City of Birmingham recently announced economic assistance measures and operational initiatives to assist the community. These initiatives are an initial step to mitigate the challenges residents and businesses face as we prepare for a new normal. The City worked to identify measures that will make a positive economic impact while helping the community to feel safe as people re-engage in activities such as visiting a park or heading downtown to shop or dine. With the stay home order now lifted, it is anticipated traffic levels will begin to increase. The following economic and operational assistance measures are in place to assist the community:
Parking Structures
– Enjoy free parking in the City’s parking structures through September 1, 2020.
Hand Sanitizer Stations
– Hand sanitizer stations will soon be in place throughout the City’s parking structures.
Monthly Parking Permits
– Fees are waived for monthly permit parking holders through September 1, 2020.
ParkMobile Promotion
– The City has allocated funds to aggressively promote and develop marketing to increase awareness and adoption of the ParkMobile parking application, which enables contact-free parking.
On-Street Parking
– With the stay home order now lifted, fees for on-street parking will resume on June 8, 2020.
