Street parking in the Old Sacramento Waterfront is designed for short-term visitors and should not be used for your business or employee parking needs. The city offers many programs, from monthly passes in the garages to discounted parking for your employees.
- District Validation Program – These are stacks of validations that are for customers to offset their parking (2 hours off garage parking, not valid for pre-paid parking dates) with purchases in your establishment. Please contact csteacker@downtownsac.org for more details about the program.
- DEPP Parking Program – This is for employees who are either part-time or full-time, and it offers them discounted rates in the garage. They simply fill out the form online and submit their pay stub as proof that they qualify.
