The City of Eureka will begin a new parking management program using the Passport Parking mobile app on April 1, 2026, in certain Downtown and Old Town parking lots.
The system allows residents and visitors to pay for parking by phone, replacing traditional meters in those locations. This is the same system currently used by Cal Poly Humboldt for its public parking.
This new program is part of the City’s effort to better manage parking resources. It implements recommendations from the 2022 Old Town & Downtown Parking Study, which identified the need to modernize our parking management and improve parking turnover in high-demand areas so customers and visitors can more easily find parking near businesses.
Parking in participating lots will cost $1.10 per hour and will be enforced from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Sunday and holidays will not be metered.
New signage will be installed throughout participating lots, with instructions for downloading the app, locating the correct zone, and starting a session. The app sends reminders before time expires and allows users to extend sessions remotely.
Parking permits for Downtown employees and eligible residents will continue to be available, offering longer-term options for regular parkers. Businesses are encouraged to make employees aware of the Downtown Employee Parking Permit Program, which allows employees to park without paying hourly meters through an annual permit.
Information about parking permits, eligibility, and application steps is available on the City’s parking page: https://www.eurekaca.gov/838/Parking-Permits-and-Information.
Residents, employees, and visitors who frequently park in Downtown or Old Town are encouraged to review program details and download the Passport Parking app before the April 1st launch.
Information, including a parking lot map and instructions for using the app, is available
