Parking Validation

305 Parking Garage

The city wants all employees to know the Validation Stamp Use Policy for all city employees:

Purpose:

City of Phoenix (COP) will give 100% validation for 305 Garage if your normal work location is off site and you need to conduct city business in the downtown corridor.

Where to Go:

Ace Parking Office, 305 W. Washington St., Suite 102 next to Crazy Jim's.

You must sign a validation log with supervisors name and contact information and also present your city of Phoenix badge.

Eligibility:

You must be a COP employee and your normal daily work location must be off-site at a non-downtown facility.

If you are driving a COP fleet vehicle, there is no need for office validation. In this case, the validation will be issued at the cashier booth as you exit the garage.

Stay Informed

In this video made by PHXTV, Sgt. Tommy Thompson of the Phoenix Police Department explains the dangers of hydroplaning and what to do if you get caught in a dust storm while driving.

Monsoon Driving Help

By now, most of you are aware that the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management has a citywide emergency notification system (ENS) for city employees. It is used to quickly share information about emergencies through alerts or advisories via text messages and emails.

As we finally see the start of monsoon, the system is also used to alert employees to incoming weather that may impact services or cause safety concerns on the commute to and from work. If you have not registered, or cannot remember your login information, please contact the Enterprise Helpdesk at 602-534-4357.

To stay up to speed while on social media, consider following the National Weather Service on Twitter and search the hashtag #PHXSummer for city-posted information.

Don’t forget to check out the city’s special Summer Safety webpage ... it has lots of monsoon and heat-related news and information.
