DAILY SPOTS:

Daily spots are available in BOTH North and South Commuter Lots.

DAILY FEE

Daily Fee parkers must remember your license plate numbers.

Commuter parking fareboxes are in place on the train station platforms. If you pay a daily fee you, you will need to enter your license plate number. Take a photo of your license plate so you’ll always have it with you! Backing into spaces is not permitted if you do not have a front license plate (which is illegal in Illinois).

DISCOUNT QUARTERLY HANG TAGS AVAILABLE:

Commuters may also pay for daily parking on a pre-paid quarterly basis, at a discounted fee of $195 per quarter. A quarterly hang tag does not reserve a specific spot for a parker, but rather grants access to either the North or South Commuter Parking Lots on a first-come, first-served basis. Pre-paying provides the added convenience of not having to pay each day at the fare boxes. Please display your hang tag when parked in these spots.

Any vehicle that can be licensed to use on the street must either be parked in the driveway or the garage, not in the yard. If a vehicle is determined to be inoperable, it must be stored in the garage, or removed from the property.
