Parking Near and Around the New Santa Fe County Courthouse
SANTA FE, NM – The City of Santa Fe Parking Division has re-routed its free Santa Fe Pick-Up Service to stop near the new Santa Fe County Courthouse. The shuttles will also stop more frequently during peak times at the courthouse and provide service to and from the Capitol parking lot for jurors.
Parking meters are available along Montezuma and surrounding streets near the courthouse. There are 225 meters within 1/8 of mile and 554 within 1/4 of mile from the new courthouse. In addition to metered parking, the city has three parking garages in the downtown area that has abundant amounts of parking and has the free Santa Fe Pick-Up service stops nearby.
The Santa Fe Pick-Up shuttle service is a great way for train passengers to get around once they step off the Rail Runner Express, or others who want a fast, free way to get around downtown, and Canyon Road.
The routes start and end in front of the former New Mexico Film Museum (the old Jean Cocteau Cinema) on Montezuma Avenue and run counter-clockwise around downtown with stops at:
The Santa Fe County CourthouseThe Capitol/PERA buildingsThe Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of AssisiThe Main Library / City HallThe Santa Fe Community Convention Center / Santa Fe PlazaEldorado / Hilton HotelFour stops on Canyon RoadOne stop at Alameda and Paseo de PeraltaSanta Fe Children’s MuseumMuseum Hill
Stops are marked "Pick It Up Here." An entire route takes about 20 minutes. The shuttle drops off passengers at other places along the route if it is safe to stop there.
