We hate to admit it, but sometimes even we – diehard believers in all things non-single occupancy vehicle – have to drive downtown, too. We do it begrudgingly; nevertheless, we do it.
So, we figured it would be good to give some information on driving for those that can only use other far more fantastic commute options a few days of the week:
- If you’re driving an electric vehicle, downtown has charging stations open to the public.
- Check out info on the on-street parking system in downtown Tacoma by checking out the City of Tacoma’s website.
- If you’re interested in parking off-street in downtown, you can compare garages (price, location, etc.) by clicking here or download a pdf of all downtown parking.
And of course, we must first say – for the sake of our conscience – that driving alone costs a lot, pollutes our air and water, and wastes limited resources. There, we said it. Now, read on to find out how to make it a little easier.
