The problem: A Parking Mismatch 

Downtown Redmond has plenty of parking. Nearly 10,000 spaces or 92% of Downtown’s parking sit on private property. Much of it is underused with capacity that sits empty, even during peak times of the day.

Meanwhile, people are looking for parking for dinner, errands, shopping, or riding light rail.

The Solution: Shared Parking Pilot

The City of Redmond and Move Redmond are launching a pilot program to match underused private stalls with the people who need them.

How it works:
