The Discounted Employee Parking Program (DEPP) offers low rates at participating City garages to eligible employees whose places of employment are located within the area of E Street to the north, R Street to the south, 21st Street to the east, and the Sacramento River to the west.
Employees of any merchant operating within Old Sacramento are considered employees of the Old Sacramento District and are eligible for DEPP at Old Sacramento Garage if they meet the program requirements.
Payment of an initial $25 administrative fee is due upon registration.
To be considered for this program:
After picking up the new DEPP card:
Cards must be scanned in sequence to avoid being blocked out of the garage at the entrance or exit. First-time users of the card must ensure the first scan is done upon entry, and not at the exit. Please plan accordingly when visiting the Revenue Division to pick up the card. If parked in a garage to visit the Revenue Division, you must pay the full garage fee for that session and do not scan your new card to exit that session.

Due to general wage increases and operational hours amongst employers in the downtown area, there is a greater need to support employees who work varying shift times and hours.
Due to space availability, the high volume of use at this garage, and the need to support the Old Sacramento District, the DEPP discount is limited to employees who work within the District.
