Improvements To Public Facilities

The City of Sarasota has launched Breezy Pass, a faster, easier and touch-free way to enter and exit the city’s parking garages – including the St. Armands Circle Public Garage. The new pass system can be purchased from the city and uses RFID technology to make payments faster and contactless when exiting supported public garages.

A pass can be purchased for use for employees or anyone visiting the three city-operated garages, or just the St. Armands Garage. Users will be able to pay a flat monthly rate or pay the actual parking fee via a debit account maintained on file with the city.
