MONTHLY PARKING PERMITS FOR DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS

The City of Cortland is revising its downtown parking permit program to prioritize parking for downtown business owners, employees and residents. This applies only to monthly permits for City parking lots and replaces the confusing “Resident” permit system and the “Odd/Even” overnight parking scheme.

There are no changes to Main St. parking. Parking on Main St. remains free, and free short-term parking (two-hour) is still available in City parking lots. There will be some parking lot reconfigurations to provide more two-hour parking spaces, all City owned lots will feature new and better signage.

Downtown workers and residents may purchase a downtown parking permit for $30 a month and will be given options for choosing a lot nearest their work or home. Permits may be purchased online at:https://cortlandny.cmrpay.com/. See additional instructions below.

Due to space availability, permits will only be offered to those working and living on Main St., or Court St. and Central Ave. between Main St. and Church St.

Those looking for free hourly parking may use parking spaces on Main St. or look for two-hour parking signs in City parking lots.
