Vail Announces Parking Rates and Pass Offerings for 2023/24 Winter Season; Pass Sales Begin Oct. 9
The Town of Vail’s daily parking rates and pass offerings for the 2023/34 winter season will remain largely unchanged from last year. The town’s winter parking program aims to proactively manage parking during busy periods; encourage use of multiple modes of transportation; limit the number of Frontage Road overflow parking days; utilize parking at Red Sandstone, Ford Park, and the Soccer Field; improve safety; and work toward the town’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2025.
Public online pass sales will begin Oct. 9 at www.vailgov.com/parkingpasses. Those with existing parker portal accounts should have received an email with their username and password. The username is the email provided during the signup process and is case sensitive. The password can also be recovered through a link on the parker portal sign on page. Once logged in, existing users should check that their account and payment information is up to date. They can then navigate to the ‘Locations/Access' tab and click the 'ADD LOCATION/PARKING' button to begin the parking pass request.
Those who purchased a 2022/23 Vail or Eagle County Local Pass will have their purchase fee waived for the 2023/24 winter season. This new pass will automatically be accessible on their parker portal.
Please note that all passes will now require payment by credit card at exit for any parking fees accrued. Parking fees will be paid at the facilities and no longer through the parker portal.
Those who did not purchase a pass last year will need to create an account. Once on the parker portal sign on page, click the ‘SEARCH FOR PARKING’ button to begin the parking pass request. Verification documentation for eligibility of some passes may be required.
After a parking pass has been requested by new or existing users, the parking pass sales team will review the application and any associated verification documentation if required. Once eligibility is approved, an email will be sent to the user inviting them to complete the signup process. A credit card will be needed to purchase the pass. Once complete, the user’s QR code parking pass will be accessible in their parker portal within three business days.
Businesses purchasing multiple passes for their employees should contact the Town of Vail Finance Department to get set up in the system. Town staff will be reaching out to businesses that have purchased multiple passes in the past to explain the pass options available. Contact the town’s parking sales office at 970-479-2104 from 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday to Friday, or email parkingsales@vail.gov for more information.
