Commute Downtown

Parking Garages and Surface Parking Lots

  • There is ample parking available in Downtown Cleveland. Downtown Cleveland, Inc. has a map of parking options that includes links to the operator webpages:

Street Parking

  • The City of Cleveland is installing on-street parking pay stations throughout downtown. Digital parking meters help storefront businesses and make downtown’s most affordable parking more available to more people!

Public Transit

  • GCRTA service is accessible and frequent, and downtown is at the center of the system. In June 2021, the “NextGen” system redesign was launched to provide more frequency to downtown, so employees may find that transit has become a more attractive option for them since before the pandemic.

  • Employees can use the GCRTA app to purchase passes and can plan their trip easily through Google Maps or the Transit App. Note that fare purchasing will be upgraded this June to the EZFare Platform, which can be accessed on the Transit App.

  • Commuter Advantage: employers can offer this benefit to employees to use pre-tax dollars to purchase a transit pass.

Shared Mobility

  • Scooters and electric bikes are available for rent downtown using a smartphone.

Bike Cleveland
