Parking Management

The primary duties of the Parking Management Program is implementing parking rules and regulations, increasing public awareness of the ordinances which regulate parking, and responding to the needs of citizens regarding inquiries and complaints concerning parking matters.

The goal of the Parking Management Program is to issue as few parking tickets as are necessary to enforce the City's parking ordinance. The objective, with regards to the Downtown Square area, is to maintain public parking availability for patrons of downtown businesses by encouraging the use of long-term parking programs by downtown employees. The City of Fayetteville provides long-term metered parking, as well as gated parking for downtown employees. There is also a Hang Tag permit program that provides additional parking options.

Separate from the Downtown Square area, paid parking in the Entertainment District was implemented in August 2010.  The program provides customer service staff to assist visitors and patrons in finding convenient parking and with the parking kiosks.  Other aspects of the program include: permitted Residential Parking, discounted Employee parking rates, and a Pay-by-Phone payment option.
