Management Analyst

Organization

The Hartford Parking Authority (“HPA”) was created in December 1998 by a City Council ordinance that amended the Hartford Municipal Code. This ordinance was adopted pursuant to Chapter 100, C.G.S. 7-202, of the Connecticut General Statutes. This State statute permits towns and municipalities to create parking authorities. As such, HPA is a separate “body corporate and politic” to the City of Hartford. HPA is overseen by a five-member board of commissioners (“Board”) appointed by the Mayor and approved by City Council.

HPA leads the operations and maintenance of Hartford’s municipal garage, multiple surface parking lots, public library parking, and all on-street parking within the City. HPA is an active participant in the City of Hartford’s transformation into a more walkable, playable, and vibrant city. HPA provides support and outreach to neighborhood organizations, businesses, residents, and visitors to resolve parking needs and contributes to the City’s economic development.
