Denver and SpotHero Partner to Offer $5 Downtown Parking This Summer

DENVER, CO - Mayor Mike Johnston today announced the City and County of Denver has partnered with SpotHero to launch "Mayor's Park $5", a first of its kind initiative that will make thousands of parking spots available in Downtown Denver for $5. The summer pilot program begins today and lasts through the end of September.

"This program is a win for everyone," said Mayor Mike Johnston. "It makes parking easier to find and afford, it encourages people to enjoy downtown, and it fills up spaces that might otherwise sit empty. I'm grateful to the vendors and especially to SpotHero for their partnership in helping us lower costs for Denverites."

Reduced rate parking will be available from morning to late afternoon on Mondays and Fridays and every weeknight evening beginning at 4 p.m. Additionally, customers can pay $5 for 12 hours of parking on Saturdays and Sundays. Approximately 3,000 parking spots are currently available at the reduced rate, with potential to scale up to as many as 5,000 by late summer.

"We're excited to work with the City of Denver to shine a light on just how much parking is available downtown and make it easier for people to come experience it," said John Horton, Senior Vice President of Sales at SpotHero.

Those wishing to take advantage of the deal - and why wouldn't you, it's $5 parking - should do so by downloading the SpotHero app or using their online platform. In partnership with the Mayor's Office, SpotHero will also offer a promo code to waive the $.99 service fee, the first of which is MILEHIGH5. The promo code is subject to availability. So as to keep the interface legible, a single icon may represent several available parking spaces at local garages.

Denver extends its immense gratitude to SpotHero, which shares our desire to make parking inexpensive and easy for residents and visitors alike. The city also shares its deep appreciation to parking vendors like Metropolis, Interstate Parking, ParkWell, LAZ, Time Park, VPNE, and PNC for their collaboration.
