Downtown Mobility Authority

The Downtown Mobility Authority (DMA), the Mobility Authority of the City of Memphis and County of Shelby, Tennessee, is a seven-member board chartered by the State of Tennessee. The mission of the Downtown Mobility Authority is to be the convener of key stakeholders and advocate for mobility and parking improvements in Downtown Memphis while maintaining attention to ensuring adequate parking for current use and supporting a growing Downtown.

The DMA also establishes parking policies and coordinates parking management. The DMA contracts with private parking companies for day-to-day operations, tracks rates and occupancies of other Downtown parking lots and structures, assists with strategic planning for existing and future parking facilities in Downtown, and issues bonds for the construction or acquisition of additional parking facilities.
