downtown parking authority
Commonly referred to as the Downtown Parking Authority (DPA), the Parking Authority of the City of Memphis and County of Shelby, Tennessee, is a seven-member board chartered by the State of Tennessee. The mission of the Downtown Parking Authority is to use public parking as a catalyst for development, and to insure that there is an adequate supply of public parking to support a growing Downtown.
The DPA establishes parking policies and coordinates parking management. The DPA contracts with private parking companies for day-to-day operations, tracks rates and occupancies of other Downtown parking lots and structures, assists with strategic planning for existing and future parking facilities in Downtown, and issues bonds for construction or acquisition of additional parking facilities.
The DPA currently manages five parking garages; four owned by the city and master-leased to DPA, and the 250 Peabody Place garage, built and owned by DPA. The four city-owned garages are:
• The Justice Center Garage (245 Washington Avenue)
• Shoppers Garage (85 North Front)
• Riverfront Garage (35 Monroe Avenue)
• Peabody Place Office Tower Garage (110 Peabody Place).
