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.

LOADING & UNLOADING

AREA ONE (WEST)
Light Street, Inner Harbor
Loading and unloading is allowed on the northbound lane of Light Street, next to the Inner Harbor (between the Science Center & Harborplace). No staging allowed.

AREA TWO (NORTH/EAST)
Pratt Street, Inner Harbor, at the National Aquarium in Baltimore
The National Aquarium in Baltimore is sanctioned for loading and unloading on the north side of the Inner Harbor. No staging allowed.
The National Aquarium in Baltimore is scheduled to begin expansion construction in September 2002. From the fall of 2002 to the spring of 2005, the Aquarium's bus turn-around area will be slightly reduced in size and may affect disembarking time. Please consider this in the timing of your itineraries.

AREA THREE (SOUTH)
Key Highway, Inner Harbor at the Maryland Science Center
Loading and unloading is allowed on Key Highway, south of the Maryland Science Center. There is 10-minute staging only.
