Downtown Parking Advisory Committee

Responsible for outlining, advocating, and initiating decisions that will improve and maintain a vital transportation system for the City of Bend, and create a model that can be used City-wide for the betterment of the entire community.

DPAC was created based on the goals outlined in  Downtown Strategic Management Plan adopted on June 7, 2017.  Strategy #5 of the plan states that the City should develop and approve a process through which a representative cross-section of downtown stakeholders routinely assists in the review and implementation of the Downtown Strategic Parking Management Plan.

The committee assists with the implementation of the strategies outlined in the plan, which shall be put into place in several phases over the course of the next few years.
