Goldie Coins: Save 20 Percent Every Day
The HPC sells parking tokens called Goldie Coins that save you money at parking meters, lot boxes and parking structures. By purchasing $8 in tokens you get $10 worth of parking. The coins can be used at your convenience. Goldies are great for people who work part-time or odd hours.
Parking Permits for Employees
If you park all day downtown more than two days a week, it is often more convenient and less expensive to buy a parking permit. Permits allow you to park all day in designated areas—lots, parking structures, or on-street. The HPC does not reserve parking spaces, but we do try to manage parking so that spaces are always available.
Lot Box/Meter Problems
If you are experiencing any issues with lot boxes or meters, please call us at 447-8419.
Parking Fines
No one likes getting a parking ticket. If you are new to downtown or need help finding a place to park, call us at 447-8419. Parking violations in Helena are $10 for meter or lot violations, $25 for overtime and other street violations, and $100 for a handicap violation. These fines are set by City of Helena Ordinance or federal law.
