The Public Works Department's Parking & Transit Division manages the Town of Estes Park's parking program and the Town's seasonal transit service, The Peak. Management of the parking program extends to the Town's public parking areas, which include on-street parking, 18 surface lots, and one parking structure.
The Town's Parking and Transit programs are both informed by the citizen-led Transportation Advisory Board, and are focused on three goals, as defined in the Downtown Parking Management Plan:
- Enhance the experience of accessing downtown for both locals and visitors;
- Improve the multimodal transportation options to provide convenient alternatives for those who choose not to drive and park; and
- Identify cost-effective options to meet future parking and access needs in a way that promotes continued economic vitality for the Town.
