Parking and Transportation Management Districts Update City of Austin Planning Commission Joseph Al-hajeri, Parking Enterprise Manager | August 12, 2025 AGENDA • History • Parking District Areas •Parking District Funding • Projects 8/8/2025 2 HISTORY • 2006 - Austin established it's first parking benefit district (PBD) in West Campus as a pilot program, funded by a federal grant (RESOLUTION NO. 20050728-013). • 2011 – PBD ordinance was adopted by Council • 2013 – West Campus PBD was approved and adopted by Council. • Once the pilot program was completed the City created a new parking district designation called a parking and transportation management district (PTMD). This new district was more community representative and allowed for paid parking revenue to be spent on additional Transportation related projects. (Council Ordinance 20141211-216) 3 HISTORY CONT. To become a PTMD, an area with paid on-street parking must add at least 100 new paid, on-street parking spaces. An area without paid on-street parking must have at least 200 on-street parking spaces to convert to paid spaces. The goal of this requirement is to promote parking turnover and reduce high commuter idle. The PTMD dedicates 51 percent of the public paid parking revenue, less City expenses, to help with mobility improvements projects within the established district and can include: • Park Maintenance • Signage • Wayfinding • Sidewalk Improvements 4 PARKING DISTRICT AREAS District Names Map of Active Districts • West Campus (PBD): Est. 2013 • East Austin: Est. 2015 • Mueller: Est. 2015 • Colorado River: Est. 2018 • South Congress: Est. 2023 5 PARKING DISTRICT PROJECT FUNDS • West Campus (PBD): Est. 2013 • Colorado River: Est. 2018 • Available Funds: $2,420,435.90 • Available Funds: $5,197.38 • East Austin: Est. 2015 • South Congress: Est. 2023 • Available Funds: $2,669,660.71 • Available Funds: $444,295.51 • Mueller: Est. 2015 • Available Funds: $1,073,966.47 6 HOW PROJECTS ARE IDENTIFIED PTMD funds are used for projects to enhance mobility in the area.
