 How SFpark Works
SFpark focuses on creating more availability within the existing parking supply. Its main strategies are:
- Make parking more convenient by offering new payment options and longer time limits
- Increase parking availability by providing more information to direct drivers to available spaces
- Adjust prices to redistribute parking demand, by either shifting parkers to blocks, lots, or garages where spaces are available or encouraging people to park at off-peak times
These strategies work together to reduce the frustration of parking in San Francisco.

SFpark will have a pre-pilot phase beginning May 2009 along the Embarcadero. The citywide launch of SFpark pilot projects will be in fall 2009 when SFMTA begins to implement SFpark in the following neighborhoods; the participating SFMTA-managed garages are listed as well:
