There are lot's all over the city for monthly or daily specials such as 5.00 all day early bird special before 8 or 9am. Then there are lot's available for monthly parking which if you come downtown on weekends can also be beneficial. Then there are park rides which a lot of people buy a weekly pass or monthly pass and ride that to downtown. Or you could ride your bike or take one of the express buses or MCTS. I ride my bike home from work 3-4 times a week 14 miles which take about an hour.

Most parking structures have monthly rates that are cheaper than daily rates. Just about everyone who takes the car regularly pays by the month. Of course the bus is always cheaper especially if your employer offers a commuter value pass.

At least you're not as bad as Milwaukee DPW parking in every loading zone known to man in the city of Milwaukee.

I park downtown at a rate of $95 per month at the Marcus Center.

Since you live in Glendale, I would suggest using the Brown Deer-Bayshore Flyer.

Route 49 Brown Deer-Bayshore Flyer - Milwaukee County Transit System

It may not drop you off exactly where you need to be, but you can walk or connect to another bus.

If I could use it, I would; but the times don't work in my favor due to my toddler's refusal to let me be on time to anywhere these days! I live in Brown Deer.
