The Future of Modesto Parking: 

In the very near future the City of Modesto will up-grade its parking program in the following ways: 

Automation:  The City of Modesto will install pay-on-foot machines in all of its parking garages.  These machines will better assist our customers due to the pre- payment process that this equipment brings to our program.  Pre-payment will decrease the amount of time it takes for a vehicle to move through an exit gate.  Currently it takes anywhere from 25 to 50 seconds to move a vehicle through the exit gate.  Once the pay-on-foot equipment has been installed, a vehicle will exit the garage in 5 to 10 seconds.  Pay-on-foot machines will be located in convenient locations in all three of the city’s parking garages. 

Validation Program:  The new automated equipment in the garages will accept multiple validations.   Customers to the downtown area will be able to shop, eat, or watch a movie while collecting validations at all approved retail sites.  The parking system will then total all validations per parking ticket and adjust the parking fee accordingly.

Lighting:  The City of Modesto is in the process of installing new lighting in the 9th and 11th street parking garages.  The new lighting will be much brighter and use less power to operate. 

Security Cameras:  Security cameras are on the parking division’s list of projects that will be completed within the next 18 months.   

Parking Meters:  Parking meters have been installed at the Centre Plaza parking lot and the two lots on 9th street.  These metered lots are fully operational and customer friendly.
