ORLANDO, Fla.- Orlando residents and visitors will continue to enjoy free parking throughout downtown.<\/p>\n

The Park DTO Program allows up to two hours of free parking<\/a> at metered and non-meter spaces in the city.<\/p>\n

The city started this program back in 2023 <\/a>as a means to promote more exploration, creating \u201cconvenient and greater access to all of the amenities in the downtown core.\u201d<\/p>\n

This strategic initiative is meant to support small businesses downtown through covering short term parking, and boosting the city\u2019s visitation and experience.<\/p>\n

Visitors can also enjoy valet parking at participating restaurants.<\/p>\n

The program is redeemable on the ParkMobile app and by using the code: ParkDTO. Each user can use the code up to 16 times. <\/p>\n

Any residual cost incurred after the allotted two hours is responsible for the person parking. <\/p>\n
