Description

Santa Monica introduces a new parking system on January 12, 2026, simplifying the nine-tier system to a three-tier structure. The first 30 minutes remain free, with rates increasing after 3 and 5 hours. Most users will pay less than before. The system aims to generate up to $9 million annually for city programs. Monthly permits get a 20% discount, and local businesses can offer 90-minute validations for $1.50. Beach lot and meter rates rise by $0.25 to $2, while flat-rate beach fees increase by $2 to $5. Discounted rates for seniors and people with disabilities remain.
