Parking Upgrade

The LRTA is getting a parking system upgrade! 

Starting June 19,2023, the garage will now have a pay on exit system.  Instead of paying for your ticket as you enter, you will take a ticket upon entrance into the garage and will pay, either on your mobile device or at our pay station location on the third floor for the time you spent in the garage.  The following is a chart of the hourly rates, with a daily cap of $13 per day.  After 24 hours in the garage, your ticket restarts the hourly clock and adds that to your previous parking total.

If you currently have a monthly pass, please make sure you reach out to the Parking Coordinator to get your new pass card.  When the system switches, your old pass card will be invalidated and will no longer work.  All pass holders should work with the Coordinator to get their pass no later than May 5th, 2023 in order to ensure you have no lapse in coverage.

(For example: If you stay in the garage for 25 hours, you will be charged $15, if you stay for 28 hours, you will be charged $18)
