The City of Monterey offers a parking program which allows Monterey residents, displaying the proper decal permit, up to two hours of free parking, per day, per parking facility. The decals are honored in the Cannery Row Garage (at Foam & Prescott), Downtown East and West Garage (at Franklin & Tyler), and the Waterfront Attendant Lot (at Washington & Del Monte).
To qualify, residents must reside within the City of Monterey and provide proof of residency (utility bill, rental agreement), current DMV vehicle registration (registered to the resident), and valid ID. These documents must be in the name of the resident to obtain the discount parking pass. Active military personnel and their immediate family are also eligible for this program with valid military ID card and vehicle registration.
To apply for the parking decal, please visit this webpage for details. Fee is $20 and the permit is valid for 12 months.
