Parking Advisory Affecting Downtown Allentown Garages

Please be aware that the Allentown Parking Authority is now enforcing a new policy in Allentown parking garages. All vehicles must pull forward into a spot, vehicles are no longer allowed to back into a spot and will now receive a fine from the Allentown Parking Authority for doing so.  Please see below for a full list of the Parking Decks this affects.  

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.  Questions regarding this policy should be directed to the Allentown Parking Authority at 610-841-9090. 

The Arena Deck, located at 712 W. Linden does NOT require pull in parking (backing into a spot is allowed). 

The following parking garages require pull in parking (no backing into a spot permitted):

  • Allentown Transportation Deck (N. 6th & Linden)
