Individuals can park on the street where curbside parking is allowed. Be sure to observe all posted regulatory curbside signage (e.g. 30 min parking M - F 8 a.m. - 6 p.m.).

Individuals can also park in municipal garages such as the Worcester Common or Federal Plaza garage, or at one of our many surface parking lots. For information regarding where to find municipal garages, surface lots and parking rates, please visit ParkWorcester.com.

Worcester has a long history and that is one of the things we love about our City. However, that means that many of our streets are narrower as they were designed for horses, carriages and smaller automobiles. To ensure that emergency vehicles can get to people in need, we must have at least 12 feet of clearance on our streets. Some streets are not wide enough for parking on both sides of the street and traffic. In those cases, we can restrict parking to one side of the street and/or switch the street to one-way travel.

Although it is not an uncommon sight in Worcester to see vehicles parked with wheels over the curb and/or on the sidewalk, SIDEWALK PARKING IS ILLEGAL. The City ordinance requires vehicles be parked on the street within 1 foot of the curb.
