ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando leaders could vote on Monday, May 11, to increase downtown parking rates.

The proposed changes, which would mark the first rate hike since 2009, are projected to add $5.5 million to the city’s budget.

The proposed increases include raising on-street parking from $1 to $2 per hour and lot and garage rates from $2 to $3 per hour. Additionally, monthly parking passes would increase by 10 dollars.

If approved by Orlando leaders, the new parking rates would take effect next month.
