Finding & paying for parking is a significant burden for the New Orleanians who give life to our city's world-famous culture and hospitality.
While a limited number of hotel and casino workers have some access to free or discounted on-site parking, most restaurant workers, performers, bartenders, tour guides and others do not. Every day is a struggle to find & pay for a place to park within a short & safe distance to their workplace.
The Office of Nighttime Economy is seeking opportunities to make more parking spaces available to hospitality workers & culture-bearers at prices they can afford.
