BROWNSVILLE, Texas – The City of Brownsville opens a Call for Vendors to participate in a Pilot Valet Parking Program, October 1, 2024. The program recently approved by the City Commission is aimed at enhancing public safety, minimizing traffic congestion, and improving the overall visitor experience to downtown Brownsville.
The pilot program is authorized for one-year from vendor approval in designated zones throughout downtown. It will support local businesses and promote tourism by offering convenient parking options while reducing parking space searchtime for downtown visitors. The City Commission emphasized this program will help gather valuable data needed to develop a permanent valet parking ordinance. Professional vendors interested in submitting a proposal may do so at https://www.brownsvilletx.gov/FormCenter/City- Manager-13/VALET-PARKING-LICENSE-APPLICATION-262. The selected valet service provider will be required to obtain an annual license with a one-time fee of $750.
The City’s Engineering and Public Works Department, along with the Traffic Manager, identified the four valet parkingzones that prioritize public safety, including pedestrian and traffic considerations.
