PARKING AUTHORITY
Created in 2000, the Parking Authority was formed to plan, develop, and manage parking in Baltimore (City Ordinance 2000-71; Code Local Government Article, secs. 18-101 through 18-121). Since parking policy affects traffic congestion, neighborhood life, economic development, and the environment, the Authority seeks to create incentives for drivers to make good parking decisions or use alternative forms of transportation.
