Mission
To be a positive partner in the continued progress and economic development of Birmingham by providing a unified, high-quality, and industry-leading parking experience that improves access to the places people work, shop, live, and enjoy.
Vision

By being the first choice for parking in Birmingham, the Authority will strive to raise the standard for parking and enhance downtown mobility.
History
The Birmingham Parking Authority was formed in 1972 through an act of the Alabama State Legislature, which established the Authority as a separate entity of the City of Birmingham for the purpose of developing and managing off-street parking facilities. BPA currently manages seven parking decks and three parking lots in the downtown area, totaling more than 8,000 parking spaces.
