We’re back with another look at at the City of Tampa’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This week, we’re looking at the city’s parking plans.
Editor’s note: The budget is still a proposal, with final plans yet to be set in stone.
- The recommended FY2025 operating budget for the Parking Division is just over $49 million.
- Of that amount, ~$9.8 million is suggested for the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). In other words, this is money set aside for improvements and upgrades.
- The largest chunk of CIP change — $5 million — will go to the Smart Mobility Division. Those are the folks who control traffic lights, road signs, and streetlights.
- City-run parking garages are getting $3.3 million for restoration + modernization.
- Electric vehicle owners rejoice. There’s $1.5 million for EV charging stations and infrastructure upgrades.
Let us know which part of the budget you want to read about next.
