Chattanooga Parking Authority

Welcome to chattanoogaparking.org, your home to all things parking in Chattanooga. This website is owned by the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA), who is the parent organization of the Chattanooga Parking Authority for the City of Chattanooga. Chattanooga Parking Authority is responsible for operations of more than 4,300 parking spaces in downtown Chattanooga as well as purchase and maintenance of equipment, staffing, and cash collection activities. This includes:

2,100+ on-street metered spaces

CPA contracts with CARTA to manage and maintain the parking garages, surface lots and on-street metered spaces and equipment. Revenue generated from these public parking spaces helps CARTA operate and maintain the free downtown electric shuttle system and maintain the CARTA managed parking resources.
