Manages city's off-street parking facilities
Overview
The Birmingham Parking Authority operates off-street parking facilities in Birmingham, running 10 garages and 2 surface lots to serve the Central Business District. Its work is to provide safe, convenient, and affordable parking by managing parking facilities funded entirely by parking revenues; any funds not needed for operations are returned to the City of Birmingham. The Authority is a self-sustaining, city-backed agency run by parking industry professionals. Its main difference from many competitors is that it is a municipal entity created by state legislation to manage downtown parking and reinvests surplus revenue back into the city. The goal is to support the growth of Birmingham’s CBD by offering reliable parking options that meet the needs of visitors and businesses.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- July 1, 2026 rate hikes boost monthly and hourly revenue across all facilities.
- BPA's 2024 strategic plan and 2026 survey support modernization, technology, and service improvements.
- Avondale EV charging and refreshed branding expand BPA beyond commodity parking management.
What critics are saying
- BPA has not raised parking rates in more than 15 years, signaling underpriced inventory.
- Aging decks need structural repairs; BPA says new revenue funds repairs and upgrades.
- Downtown parking demand faces substitution risk from ParkMobile, enforcement changes, and remote-work softness.
What makes Birmingham Parking Authority unique
- BPA controls seven decks and three lots, totaling 8,116 spaces downtown Birmingham.
- André Davis has run BPA since March 2022, bringing parking-operations experience from UAB.
- BPA launched its first EV charger in Avondale Village with Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition.
