The Annapolis Parking Alliance is a coalition of residents, businesses, and community organizations working together to create a parking system that better serves everyone who lives, works, visits, and invests in our city. We believe that accessible, affordable, and well-managed parking is essential to supporting thriving neighborhoods, a vibrant local economy, and an exceptional visitor experience. By bringing together voices from across Annapolis, we provide a unified forum to identify challenges, share ideas, and advocate for practical, community-focused solutions.

Our alliance includes neighborhood associations, downtown merchants, hospitality workers, seniors, parents, employees, and frequent visitors who all share a common interest in improving the parking experience. Our work is nonpartisan, fact-based, and driven by the real-world experiences of the people who rely on Annapolis's streets every day. Together, we are committed to promoting thoughtful parking policies that strengthen our community while preserving the unique character and vitality of our city.

Who We Are

• Research and publish analyses of parking policy, finance, and enforcement.

• Advocate for specific reforms at City Council and with the Mayor's office.

• Help residents and businesses understand their rights and options.

• Organize public testimony, letters, and community meetings.

What we do

Parking is rarely just about parking. It shapes whether a small business can survive, whether a senior can visit a doctor downtown, whether an employee can afford to take a shift, and whether enforcement officers are deployed where residents actually need them. Good parking policy is good civic policy.
