Mission & Organization
Our Goal
Uptown Partnership’s goal is to help drivers find convenient parking in Uptown with a minimum of effort.
Who We Are
Uptown Partnership began managing the Uptown Community Parking District (CPD) for the City of San Diego in 1997. The Uptown CPD receives 45% of Uptown parking meter revenues to reinvest in the community. Each year, Uptown Partnership develops an Implementation Plan for the Community Parking District that allocates parking meter revenues toward projects that are authorized by Council Policy 100-18. The City Council must approve the Implementation Plan before Uptown Partnership can work on the projects included in it. Funded programs and projects are designed to improve parking availability, traffic circulation, transit effectiveness, and pedestrian mobility.
Uptown Partnership is governed by a dedicated Board of Directors who are local residents and business people. In addition, several standing and ad-hoc committees provide recommendations to the Board, for specific information on these committees please see the section below. The Board and committees are supported by an energetic and resourceful staff of professionals committed to Uptown’s success.
