Man of The People

Downtown Austin offers complimentary street parking on Sundays and after 6pm on Mondays. Trinity Garage provides free access throughout Sunday hours; its daily fee is $3 per half-hour, capped at $24 for full days. Flat rates apply: $10 from Sunday through Thursday between 4pm and 6am, and $12 from Friday to Saturday morning (with Saturday starting at 8am instead of 6am). Parking availability and pricing may increase during special downtown events. If attendant schedules are followed, the elevator closes around 10pm nightly and remains closed most Saturdays; patrons with mobility needs should park near the fountain plaza rather than under the awning. The surface lot at the southwest corner of 9th and Trinity charges $8 for up to one hour, $15 for one to ten hours, or $25 for overnight stays from 5pm until 10am next day. Metered parking costs $1 per hour during listed times with varying maximum stay limits by area; meters accept credit cards or coins. Meters are free outside the specified hours. The metered zones cover the stretch between Cesar Chavez and 10th Street, and from IH-35 to Lamar Boulevard on Monday through Tuesday from 8am until 6pm.
