How to park in downtown Chattanooga and how much it costs to break the rules could both change soon.
The Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority is working on the elements of a comprehensive plan for its service area.
A new app showing users where to find open parking spaces and what rate those spots cost could go live in early December, CARTA Director of Parking and Facilities Brent Matthews said in a phone interview. CARTA also hopes to roll out a program that would give visitors using public spaces an hour of free parking around the same time, Matthews said.
“It’s all about economic development,” he said.
