Facility Overview

Conveniently situated in the bustling core of Downtown Salt Lake City, the parking facility at 324 State Street (historically operated under Ampco System Parking and managed via ABM Parking Services) offers dependable, centrally positioned vehicle parking for daily commuters, eventgoers, and weekend visitors. The site is situated along the east side of State Street (US-89) between 300 South (Broadway) and 400 South. Depending on your destination, this facility provides accessible self-parking with clearly defined stalls, straightforward drive aisles, and efficient lane routing. Because it features wide-open drive lanes and standard surface/deck clearances, standard passenger vehicles, crossovers, compact cars, light trucks, and full-size SUVs can park comfortably. Taller commercial vehicles, large dual-rear-wheel trucks, or high-roof camper vans should confirm clearance heights at the entry gate if parking in covered deck bays.

Vehicular ingress and egress are oriented along State Street (US-89) and adjacent cross streets, granting direct connectivity to 300 South and 400 South (University Boulevard). These arterial corridors link directly to Interstate 15 and Interstate 80 exits, allowing motorists to bypass heavy core gridlock when arriving or departing during peak commuting windows.

Visitor & Driver Tips

State Street experiences significant traffic volumes during weekday rush hours (7:30 AM – 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM), as well as right before major curtain calls at downtown theaters. To secure a seamless parking experience, plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes early on nights with major downtown performances or events at the Gallivan Center. Keep note of your license plate number, as modern payment machines frequently require entry of your plate details upon check-in. If you are catching an event further west toward the Delta Center or Gateway, consider leaving your vehicle parked here and taking advantage of the UTA TRAX Free Fare Zone spanning Downtown Salt Lake City.
