Enhanced overnight parking permit options now available

The City of Milwaukee is now offering an improved parking permit system that includes more flexibility for length of time being purchased, additional opportunities to buy permits, and reminder notifications prior to permit expiration. The change comes after an ordinance, authored by Alderman Jonathan Brostoff, was adopted by the Common Council earlier this year.

Permit users can now purchase monthly, weekly, and daily parking permits in addition to the existing annual and 4-month permits, and can now utilize “rolling permits” to provide a more flexible option rather than being centered on set dates.

Alderman Brostoff believes this change will be beneficial for both the customers and the City. “Allowing more parking permit purchase options and having them cover a more flexible time period is an incredible value added proposition for users,” he said. “In addition to offering more user-friendly options, the potential is there to lessen the burden on the city’s call center staff who take tens of thousands of calls annually for temporary parking permissions. This is a true win-win for everyone involved.”

Parking permit purchasing is available online at milwaukee.gov/parkingpermits and at in-person kiosks in all Milwaukee Police District Stations and at all Milwaukee Violations Bureau locations. Additional kiosks are now available in the City Hall rotunda building at 200 E. Wells St. and at the Zeidler Municipal Building at 841 N. Broadway (Market Street entrance).
