COVID-19 Response:

 In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, The City of Colorado Springs’ Parking Enterprise has suspended enforcement of parking meters through May 31. Time limited spots will also not be enforced at this time.

The suspension includes parking meters in downtown Colorado Springs and Old Colorado City, along with structured parking. The City is also extending availability of designated curbside parking spaces with orange signs for curbside services from restaurants and businesses. Drivers must stay in their vehicle while parked at these designated curbside spaces.

The following enforcement activities will continue:

  • Fire hydrant zones and fire lanes
  • “No Stopping” or “No Parking” zones to promote safety
  • Loading Zones
  • Mountain Metro Transit stops
  • Special parking permitted spaces, including but not limited to accessible spaces, reserved spaces, restricted spaces
  • Electric vehicle, compact, reserved or other signed parking spaces in structures
  • Parking on or within 20 feet of a crosswalk
  • Blocking driveways or alleys
  • Parking in travel lanes, including bike and transit lanes
  • Obedience to angle signs or markings
  • ADA violations
  • Extended / overnight parking at meters

The Parking System Enterprise provides public parking spaces as a key element in maintaining the economic vitality of the downtown and surrounding activity centers. Public parking is an economic development tool used to attract private investment into the community and manage urban growth.
