The Baltimore City Office of Transportation announced the implementation of a tour bus parking policy. Under the new plan, tour buses will now be required to unload passengers in designated areas and park on designated lots. Approximately 300 tour buses can be accommodated each day at two parking locations in the downtown area.with daily parking passes ranging from $20 to $24 per bus. The parking areas have been identified as lots J and C of Camden Yards, and the Central Parking Systems facility located on Key Highway.

This new parking policy will be aggressively enforced.Tour buses that are illegally parked on city streets will receive $77 citations. Please see the new parking map and loading/unloading areas for downtown Baltimore.

The Tourism Department's goal is to increase the group travel to Baltimore. Through a combination of marketing, direct sales and public relations initiatives, our target markets are North American tour and motorcoach companies. We promote Baltimore at group travel tradeshows and work closely with BACVA members to ensure that Baltimore has a cohesive plan for bringing business to the region.
