The City of Houston Public Parking Commission is the first of its kind in Texas. In addition to serving as a public forum, the Commission’s main goal is to direct Parking Management in resolving parking issues. The Commission also recommends parking-related ordinances and capital improvement projects to City Council, gathers and reviews data relating to the City’s present and future parking needs, maintains a comprehensive inventory of the on-street parking supply and recommends to City Council all matters for the management, development and advancement of the City’s parking needs or facilities.

This citizen-led commission consists of nine mayor-appointed regular members and six ex-officio members, all serving without compensation and confirmed today by City Council for one- or two-year terms. Meetings are held at 2 p.m. the first and third Wednesday of each month in the City Hall Annex Chambers, located downtown at 900 Bagby.
