Downtown Employer Permit Program
Beginning January 9th, 2024
The Governing Body approved a resolution to establish a program to incentivize downtown business owners to purchase discounted parking passes for their income-qualified employees at three City parking garages: Santa Fe Convention Center, Sandoval, and Railyard.
The program offers businesses the option to purchase up to 10 parking permits for their employees at a cost of $25/month. The passes may be purchased for and used by employees earning less than $21.71/hour, including tips. A total of 150 passes are available and will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you are a business interested in purchasing permits for your employees, here are the steps:
- Fill out an application (click here to download)
- Obtain a recent and verifiable pay stub for the employee(s) using the permits.
- Bring these to the Parking Office located at 737 Agua Fria on Tuesday or Thursday. Office hours are 8:30 - 4:30 (closed for lunch 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm)
-
Once your application is accepted and processed, we will contact you when the permit(s) are ready for pickup. Please note that if an employee leaves, the permit must be returned to the parking office so the next employer on the list has a chance to obtain it. If there is no waiting list, and you have a new employee who qualifies, you may apply for that employee. Permits will be valid for one year. Prior to renewing, businesses will be required to fill out a survey.
