USA Parking Systems, Inc

USA Parking has to lots right next to each other, bu that they operate separately. There is an entrance to the larger lot off 9^th street on the Prospect Corner. The smaller lot is accessible from Prospect near 16^th/​17^th. Both lots can be accessed by cutting across another lot that has a few entrances on 18^th street near Carnegie Ave. When cutting in from these 18^th street entrances however mind the red brick road. Saying it is bumpy is an understatement if ever there was one! The north east corner of the 9^th/​Prospect lot floods when it rains so if it’s a rainy day don’t park in that corner. This aside this lots seems to be in better condition pavement wise than it’s eastern cousin. The smaller lot is hills and valleys and the curbs are disintegrating (but have not been removed). Also for an unknown reason sometimes I will come out to my car and the Prospect entrance will be closed off forcing you to drive your car over the red brick road described early which I really really hate doing — especially when it rains and partially floods in places. It is time they start putting the money they make towards upkeep of the lot. First step, street sweeper. Second step, fill some holes. I am able to park here during the day or at evenings with my monthly pass so that is nice. No one’s around to give me any trouble since it is unattended (the larger lot is attended).

I was only able to park at their lot on the corner of Carnegie and East 9^th twice. My second time, my car was stolen from there. (psst…My car was literally older than me !)
Across from Progressive Field, this open-​air surface lot is very visible. It is unattended (you pay into a machine) and is $ 3 all-​day (in by 10 am, I believe), the cheapest price within a 3 – 4 block of the area. It was perfect for a broke intern like me working nearby downtown.
Returning that afternoon, finding my car not there was a bit of a shock. I called the posted phone number on a kiosk for US Parking in the lot and received a busy signal all 4 times when I called that day. Fail. There was also posted information for the contracted towing service (a different company) who informed me it was not towed.
I called the posted US Parking number next morning and received an apathetic response that they didn’t have any security cameras at the lot and hold no responsibility since US Parking didn’t take my keys.
