In order to make your visit to Downtown Monroe as pleasurable as possible, the Downtown Monroe Business Network, in conjunction with the City of Monroe, has instituted a Parking Ticket Validation Program.

While you are shopping, if an over-time parking ticket shows up on your automobile, please feel free to return your ticket to a patronized store (within 24 hours if possible) so that it can be validated for you. Look for the symbol on display in stores, offices, and restaurants to identify those businesses which validate. That’s it – ticket is deleted – enjoy your day in downtown Monroe. We offer this program because our motto is, "You, the customer, are top priority in Downtown Monroe."

The following violation numbers that can be validated include:
