Commuter Information

Whether you commute to San Francisco via the ferry or bus, the City of Sausalito offers low cost parking for commuters for the cost of $4.00 per day when you park using your Sausalito Commuter Card !!! The card works like the Resident's "3 Hours Free Parking" card, but is designed with commuters in mind !!!

NEW !!!!! We now accept "Commuter Checks" !!!!!
You can now pay for your commuter parking using pre-tax dollars !
Ask your employer about enrolling in this money saving program !

Please note that Commuter Parking is allowed weekdays ONLY Monday through Friday from May through October, and 7 days a week November through April.

With the card, you are allowed to park all day in Municipal Parking Lot #3 for $4.00 (Municipal Parking Lot #3 is the lot across from the Casa Madrona Hotel) when you commute via the ferry or by bus. You must waive your card in front of the sensor both on your way in and out of the lot even though the gates have been removed !!!! It should be noted that there are no "in and out" privileges. Each time you park, $4.00 is deducted from the balance on your card.

You must also display a Commuter Hangtag from your mirror when parking - otherwise you risk receiving a citation !!!!

And keep in mind that you will need to "reload" your card when the balance reaches a threshold (approximately $5.00). Then you just stop by the booth and load up the card again.
