This program's purpose is to better manage the existing parking supply in the North Lake Tahoe region while promoting public transit use and alternative travel modes. County officials are considering solutions, such as a paid parking system in the town centers and recreational beach parking areas, as well as the establishment of specific residential permit parking zones.

Parking management includes a wide range of elements, such as parking restrictions (including "pay-to-park" and time-limited parking, as well as increased enforcement with illegal parking), wayfinding and signage, shared parking agreements between property owners and the county, park and ride shuttles, residential permit parking zones and educational outreach efforts.

Goals include encouraging alternative modes of transportation, ensuring sufficient turnover in convenient parking spaces for businesses, protecting neighborhoods from spillover parking, and efficiently using land to meet Tahoe area parking demands. This program has the potential to generate funding for local investment into alternative transportation enhancements, such as new bicycle/pedestrian facilities and expansion of transit services.

Join county staff on Tuesday, April 28, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. for a virtual meeting to discuss 2026 changes for the Parking Management Program. Resident and visitors in North Lake Tahoe are invited to share feedback, review the paid parking program and discuss employee parking needs. Find Zoom information below:
