Permit Parking Zones
You may have noticed the Permit Parking signs around downtown!
On October 2, 2017, the City of Shreveport began offering Permit Parking in Downtown Shreveport. On-street Permit Parking was established to offer more diverse parking options and to encourage greater use of underutilized parking spaces.
Permits for ZONE 2 & ZONE 3 are on sale now! Permit Parking will cost $25 (plus a $1 convenience fee for each month). You may also purchase spaces on a quarterly basis. Three months will cost $60 (plus a $1 convenience fee for each month), a savings of $15 over a month-to-month purchase!
These spaces will operate much as a parking lot. If you purchase a permit, a space will be yours from 8 am-5 pm, Monday-Friday. You will not have to move, you will not have to feed a meter, you will not be ticketed in this zone.
These spaces will not be numbered, they will be first-come, first served. Your license plate will serve as your permit, so no hangtags will be required.
Over 100 spaces will be available in ZONE 2 & ZONE 3.
Signing up for a permit is easy! Choose your Zone to register: Zone 2 or Zone 3
The maximum time allotted at all on-street parking spaces, both with and without meter, is 2 hours. Spaces without meters (indicated by green curbs) require payment with the ParkMobile. When paying with the ParkMobile App, you will have the option of a bonus hour. (bonus hour rate is $1.50/hour.). You may not use both methods of payment to remain in the same space or on the same block beyond the 2 hour maximum. Tickets can be issued to any vehicle that remains parked on a block for more than two hours, per city ordinance.
Metered parking space(s) may be reserved for building or street construction, remodeling, special events, filming or moving. The parking meter bag service allows you to reserves the availability of curbside (metered) parking space(s). Private use of meter bags is prohibited.
