Payment Display Notice (Apple Pay & Google Pay)

We're aware that some Apple Pay and Google Pay users may briefly see a different business name when paying for a City parking garage. This can occur if you've previously used your mobile wallet at another location that uses the same payment processor.

There is no cause for concern—your bank statement will correctly list the City of Madison as the vendor for your garage payment.

Evening and Weekend Parking Now Available at Wilson Lot

The Parking Division is pleased to announce expanded metered public parking at the Wilson Lot, located at 499 E. Wilson Street.

Where do I park?

Park on the side of the street with odd house numbers on 03/01/2026 from 1:00am – 7:00am.

If you park in the Snow Emergency Zone, you only need to follow alternate side parking during a Declared Snow Emergency.
