Beginning Oct. 1, rates charged to park in most of the City's nine parking decks will change to the following:
$1.50/hour, first four hours;
$2/hour after four hours to daily maximum;
Daily maximum: $14;
Special event parking: $10; and,
Lost ticket charge: $25
The City of Raleigh is lowering the hourly rate from $2 to $1.50 for the first four hours. The goal is to encourage drivers to park in the decks, leaving more available on-street metered parking spaces for downtown visitors.
The full-day prices increased.
Two parking decks -- the Performing Arts deck and the Convention Center underground deck -- will remain $3 per hour, up to a daily maximum of $15.
