Parking

Downtown parking is FREE on evenings and weekends at the meters and at the garages!    And the first hour in all City garages is FREE! 

The garages charge $1 an hour to park between the hours of 2:30am and 6:00pm, and there is a parking attendant on duty at the garages until 8:00pm to collect any parking fees that may have accrued between those hours of 2:30am and 6:00pm.  Remember that your first hour is always free, and that many Downtown businesses participate in Downtown's Parking Validation Program!  For more information on parking validation, call our office at (607) 277-8679, or the City Chamberlain's office at (607) 274-6580.

Municipal lots are located at the corner of Tioga and Seneca Streets (the Seneca Garage) and on S. Cayuga Street, across from the Holiday Inn (the Cayuga Garage).  These parking areas are denoted with the P sign on the Downtown Map.
