More than 500 City of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County employees get a perk other Downtown commuters can only dream about. Almost 200 City of Pittsburgh workers pay $70 a month -- and about 340 Allegheny County employees pay $60 a month -- to park in some surface lots and garages Downtown, government records show. That translates to about $3.50 a day for city workers and $3 for county employees. Private-sector workers pay as much as five times more. What's more, city workers with preferential parking don't pay the city's 40 percent parking tax. County workers with discounted parking do.
