Vail’s winter parking rates and associated policies will be presented for review by the Town Council at its evening meeting Tuesday, Oct. 16. The action item is listed as 6.2 on the meeting agenda which begins at 6 p.m. in the Vail Town Council Chambers with opportunities for public comment. 

Free overnight parking will be available in the Vail Village and Lionshead structures beginning Monday, Oct. 1 and extending to the start of the ski season which is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 16. The $25 overnight fee has been in place since May 25 and was implemented as a pilot program to discourage overnight vehicle storage to free up spaces for day users. Parking has remained free throughout the summer for vehicles parked during the day and evening. The overnight rate has been assessed for vehicles parked between 4 and 5 a.m.

 

 

The Vail Village and Lionshead parking structures are currently available for free, unlimited access. This is in advance of the town’s fully-staffed summer parking operations which will begin May 25.

An end of season reminder is being issued by the Town of Vail to all parking pass holders. Following the last day of paid winter parking on Sunday, April 15, most parking pass types will be enabled for use during the 2018 summer season, which will run May 25 through Sept. 30. This includes Green, Blue, Silver and Gold passes as well as the Value card.

Thanks for your patience as we work to finalize our summer parking program for 2018. In announcing details of the program, we want to emphasize there will be little to no impact on your ability to access the Vail Village and Lionshead parking structures for free this summer. The primary focus of the summer parking program (which includes a corresponding $25 overnight fee) is to reduce the number of vehicles stored for the season as well as long-term park-and-ride use.

The Vail Town Council will review final recommendations for the 2018 summer parking plan during its evening meeting on Tuesday, March 20. The action item is listed as 6.1 on the meeting agenda which begins at 6 p.m. in the Town Council Chambers with opportunities for public comment.

Paid parking in Vail’s parking structures and outlying lots will begin on Nov. 23. Parking passes are available for purchase from 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday throughout the season, with the exception of holidays, on the lower level of the Vail Municipal Building, 75 S. Frontage Rd. Bring proof of eligibility as restrictions apply.

For the first time in 10 years, winter parking rates will increase for users of the Vail Village and Lionshead parking structures as well as pricing adjustments for season pass holders. In approving the new fee structure at its Oct. 3 meeting, Vail Town Council members said the modifications were necessary to help meet the town’s goal to limit the amount of overflow parking on the south frontage road and to encourage use of free outlying parking. Another change will shorten the free parking period in the structures to be offset by a recommended merchant validation system to improve availability of close-in parking.
