MCDOT offers free parking on Saturday, Dec. 21

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) is offering free parking in county-owned garages and lots on Saturday, Dec. 21, which is during one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Parking fees at on-street meters will still be enforced on this day.

The Saturday before Christmas, also known as Super Saturday, marks the final major shopping day of the year and one of the busiest for in-person shopping.  

“We hope by offering free parking, residents and visitors will take the time to shop in person at some of our local businesses,” said MCDOT Director Chris Conklin. “And, of course, if you prefer to leave the car at home, our Ride On bus service is just $1 and offers service to all of our county’s major destinations.” 

Residents can plan their bus route using the Ride On Trip Planner app to find the fastest route and look up real-time bus arrival information.
