Parking Garages:

Garage hours during Legislative interim (generally April through December): Open daily 5am-8pm
Garage hours during Legislative session (generally January through March): Open 5am-11pm
If you need access above the first level of a parking garage after hours or on weekends, contact Security at 208-334-3468, or press the call button at the elevator. Please have identifying information at the ready.
The height clearance in the parking garage is seven (7) feet. Truck campers that extend higher than the height of the cab will likely be too tall.
Security officers stationed at dangerous intersections of the parking garage are there to help assure the safety of everyone in the garage. It can be difficult to see vehicles coming and going from the structure, and the officer is there to help make sure that someone doesn’t run into you!

Parking Enforcement:

Warnings and citations are issued by Capitol Mall Security for vehicles found in violation of parking regulations and posted signage. The collection of any charges associated with a parking violation are handled by Boise City Parking Control.
Vehicles will only be towed under the stipulations as noted in Capitol Mall Parking IDAPA, https://adminrules.idaho.gov/rules/current/38/380404.pdf
