CCDC owns six parking garages totaling 3,188 public parking spaces, which are managed as ParkBOI, Downtown Boise’s public parking system. The system accommodates nearly one million visitors annually who come to Boise’s downtown to work, shop and play.
All six garages are mixed use facilities attached to restaurants, retail businesses, hotels or condominiums. All garages accommodate contract/monthly parkers, hourly/transient customers and attendees to special events. Garages are open all day, every day.
The agency created and launched a comprehensive parking website focused on downtown parking options: ParkBOI.com
CCDC’s parking spaces are part of over 18,000 spaces in Downtown Boise. The City of Boise operates approximately 3,000 on-street parking meters. The remaining 15,000 spaces are privately owned spaces in garages or surface parking lots, some of which are available to non-tenant customers.
New and Expanded Product Definitions
Description: A pay-as-you-go pass, allowing access to all ParkBOI garages at the current hourly rate.
Anticipated User Group: Semi-frequent garage users and hourly customers who want the convenience of a contactless garage access card rather than pulling a ticket and paying for each visit.
How Does it Work? Upon initial setup, the account is loaded with $100.00 in hourly parking credits. When visiting a ParkBOI garage, the account holder uses their access card to enter and exit the garage. Parking charges are automatically calculated based on entry and exit time at the current hourly rate and deducted from the account balance. When the balance reaches $25, the card on file is automatically charged to restore the balance to $100.
Requirements/Limitations:
- The account holder must register, create an account, and pay a one-time, non-refundable $20.00 administrative fee. The account must also be loaded with the $100.00 in parking credits, for an initial charge of $120.
- A credit or debit card on file, or another electronic payment method, is required.
- Unused parking credits may be refunded if the account is terminated.
- This program does not guarantee parking availability or reserve a parking space.
- Anti-passback rules apply.
Proposed Rate: Matches current hourly rate structure for the ParkBOI facility, including First Hour Free.
Target Implementation Date: Fall/Winter 2026
Description: A single monthly pass shared by up to two (2) individual parkers.
Anticipated User Group: Employees with non-overlapping shifts.
How Does it Work? Employer registers for a parent account, registers individual eligible employees who will participate in the Shared Parker Account, and identifies the desired number of passes to be purchased and shared for a designated garage. Each employee is issued an access card credential and may use that credential to enter and exit the selected ParkBOI garage as needed for no additional charge up to the maximum number of passes purchased. If that pass threshold is exceeded, access by additional employees is allowed, but the employer will be charged an overage fee for every entry above the pass threshold at the current hourly rate for the actual amount of time that the pass threshold is exceeded. First hour free does not apply to overage fee calculation.
Overage Fee Example: An employer purchases 5 passes to be shared by 8 individual employees. On Wednesday this week, 7 of the registered employees use their access card to park in the designated garage concurrently for 3 consecutive hours. The employer would be charged an overage fee at the current hourly rate for the 3 hours that the 6th and 7th employees parked in the garage. Under 2026 hourly rates (excluding first hour free), the overage fee for this instance would be 2 employees x 3 hours x $3.00/hr = $18.00.
Requirements/Limitations:
- Limited to corporate accounts.
- Maximum of 50 employees per account.
- Maximum ratio of employees to shared passes is 2:1.
- A credit or debit card on file, or another electronic payment method, is required.
- First Hour Free does not apply to overage fees.
- Passes are valid for one garage only.
- This program does not guarantee parking availability or reserve a parking space.
- Anti-passback rules apply.
Proposed Rate: Matches current standard monthly pass rate (varies by ParkBOI location).
Target Implementation Date: June 1, 2026
Description: A monthly pass product allowing access to a designated ParkBOI garage between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. (16 hours per day), every day.
Anticipated User Group: Employees with evening and night shifts starting after 4:00pm and ending the following day before 8:00am.
How Does it Work? Upon registering for an Overnight Pass account, account holder is furnished with an access card credential which allows unlimited access by the account holder at a designated ParkBOI garage between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. the following day. Entry and exit to the designated garage outside this timeframe are allowed, but the account holder will be charged an overage fee per the current hourly rate. First hour free does not apply to overage fee calculation.
Overage Fee Example: An employee with a registered Overnight Pass accesses their designated garage at 2:35 p.m. and stays in the garage until 7:00 a.m. the following day. An overage fee for two (2) full hours would be charged to the account holder because their actual entry time preceded the allowable entry time of 4:00 p.m. by 1 full hour plus a portion of a 2nd hour. Under 2026 hourly rates (excluding first hour free), the overage fee for this example would be 2 hours x $3.00/hr = $6.00.
Requirements/Limitations:
- A credit or debit card on file, or another electronic payment method, is required.
- First Hour Free does not apply to overage fees.
- Passes are valid for one garage only.
- This program does not guarantee parking availability or reserve a parking space.
- Anti-passback rules apply.
Proposed Rate: Indexed to 40% of the current standard monthly pass rate (varies by ParkBOI location).
Target Implementation Date: June 1, 2026
Description: A monthly pass product allowing access to a designated ParkBOI garage between Thursday and Monday.
Anticipated User Group: Employees with work shifts between Thursday and Monday or employees who can utilize alternative modes of travel on Tuesdays & Wednesdays.
How Does it Work? Upon registering for a Limited Pass account, account holder is furnished with an access card credential which allows unlimited access by the account holder to a designated ParkBOI garage between 12:00 a.m. Thursday and 11:59 p.m. Monday the following week.
The access card does not allow entry to the designated garage on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Overage fees will be charged at the current hourly rate for any visit extending into or through Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Requirements/Limitations:
- A credit or debit card on file, or another electronic payment method, is required.
- Passes are valid for one garage only.
- This program does not guarantee parking availability or reserve a parking space.
- Anti-passback rules apply.
Proposed Rate: Indexed to 70% of the current standard monthly pass rate (varies by ParkBOI location).
Target Implementation Date: June 1, 2026
Description: Conversion of an existing ParkBOI monthly pass account to a pass allowing access to all ParkBOI locations.
Anticipated User Group: Employees or residents who want access to multiple ParkBOI garage locations.
How Does it Work? Upon registering for this account, pass may be used to access all ParkBOI locations.
Requirements/Limitations:
- A credit or debit card on file, or another electronic payment method, is required.
- This program does not guarantee parking availability or reserve a parking space.
- Anti-passback rules apply.
