The Little Italy Association (LIA) manages the Little Italy neighborhood program, the Gaslamp Quarter Association (GQA) manages the Gaslamp Quarter neighborhood program, East Village Association (EVA) manages the East Village neighborhood program, and the Downtown San Diego Partnership manages the City Center, Columbia, Cortez and Marina neighborhood programs.

Discover Pacific Beach is the designated advisory board for the Pacific Beach Community Parking District (PBCPD), which was created in 2005. The PBCPD aims to improve safety and access to Pacific Beach neighborhoods, destinations and businesses, as well as mobility within, to and from the community. The PBCPD develops parking and transportation strategies that effectively serve the community as it grows into the future, while encouraging multiple modes of transportation including walking, biking, transit and more.

In July 2023, the City of San Diego in partnership with SANDAG and the PBCPD launched The Beach Bug, an all-electric shuttle pilot that provides a sustainable transportation alternative and helps reduce demand for parking.

Additionally, the PBCPD has been coordinating closely with City staff to advance installation of parking meters to assist with parking turnover in the commercial core of Pacific Beach. Installation of parking meters was approved by the Pacific Beach Community Planning Group on Nov. 11, 2020.

Meters have been installed on Garnet Avenue between Mission Boulevard and Fanuel Street, and along some blocks of Cass, Hornblend and Bayard streets. Meters are in effect 10 a.m. – 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Fares are $1.25 an hour. Parking on these blocks is restricted to a maximum of two hours.

• Paying for parking is easy and convenient! Payment can be made by credit card, mobile payment, the ParkSmarter app, or pre-paid debit cards. More information is available at www.sandiego.gov/parking. 
• Did you know? Parking meter revenue helps fund the Beach Bug, a fun all-electric shuttle service in Pacific Beach. Learn how to catch a ride on the Beach Bug at www.sandiego.gov/PBShuttle.
