[ARCHIVED] FREE PARKING IN ASPEN BEGINNING MARCH 16

FREE PARKING IN ASPEN BEGINNING MARCH 16

Downtowner and Car-to-Go Programs Suspended – 3/17

Direct Highlands and Galena Street Shuttle Suspended – 3/17


ASPEN, CO. – March 15, 2020 – The City of Aspen is offering free daily parking everywhere in the downtown core and residential areas beginning Monday, March 16 at 10 am, however, time limits will still be enforced by the City’s parking officers.  Those time limits equal four hours maximum in the downtown core and 72 hours in residential zones.  In addition, there is still no parking in the downtown core from 2 a.m. – 7 a.m. ever.  The parking office will still enforce illegal parking.

The City is making this change in recognition that some public transit services are being temporarily reduced or suspended and some vulnerable populations may not be able to utilize mass transit at this time.  This temporary waiver of parking fees will be reviewed again by March 31 to determine if it will continue, be modified, or if fees will be reinstated. 

The Downtowner service and Car-to-Go programs are being suspended beginning March 17, 2020 until further notice.  

In addition, the Direct Highlands and Galena Street Shuttle seasonal service will be suspended beginning March 17.

These suspensions are in order to promote the recommended social distancing between parties and ensure vehicle cleanliness.
