Local authorities, together with public transport providers, may provide park and ride facilities so that people can park their car in a designated car park and transfer to public transport.
Pay and Display is the main type of parking available within Galway City. You purchase a ticket from a pay and display ticket machine in advance that entitles you to park on designated city streets or public car parks, for a set duration of time.
The City Council may issue parking permits to facilitate people who are 'Residents' of Pay and Display Areas. Eligible residents may apply for the following types of parking permit:
Resident's Permit
Visitor's Permit
Carer's Permit
