Transit Center 250 West 8^th Street

The City of Durango Transit Center is conveniently located at 250 West 8^th Street. This is the place to buy daily or monthly parking passes.

Once at the Transit Center lot, please find a spot for your vehicle and walk into the main building where a pass can be purchased to park in the lot or ride the transit system.

The Transit Center is located between 7^th and 8^th  Streets just east of and bordering Camino Del Rio, which is Hwy 550 going through town. 

Workers/Employees

If you work in downtown Durango, the cheapest solution for parking a vehicle are the city lots, which are $30 or less per month. The Transit Center has the highest daily vacancy and is conveniently located to the downtown area. Additionally, our Transit system is award winning, and a monthly pass is only $30 or less with available discounts. For any questions about the Transit System please check their web site, or call 970-375-4940. Our Transit busses have free bike carriers if you would like to combine those two transportation modes.

Parking at meters is generally more available and less expensive further from Main Avenue. Meters are for short term use and priced accordingly. 

Large vehicles, RVs and vehicles pulling trailers

Use  the Transit Center parking facility at 250 West 8^th St. where you can buy a day pass and where we have end-to-end, double length spaces. Spaces fit long vehicles, or vehicles pulling trailers. If you need to leave your vehicle overnight, please inquire with the cashier when you get your pass so they can confirm there is no overnight prohibition during your stay. Camping is prohibited at the Transit Center.

Another solution if you require on-street parking but don’t fit in a single space, is to use two adjoining spaces. This is perfectly legal as long as you pay for both spaces and fit in the combined spaces. Generally, overlength vehicles have the hardest time and cause the most problems on diagonal spaces, where the rear of the vehicle impedes traffic in the adjoining traffic lane and is subject to citation.

Motorcycle Parking   

Motorcycles may park at any regular car space and as many motorcycles as can fit in the space may park there as-long-as the time is paid on the meter. The City has also created motorcycles specific spaces which are smaller and where cars are not allowed to park. Click here to see these spaces are marked on this map for your convenience.
