Metro Parking?

Contributed by tykejohnson on September 6th, 2006 at 5:04 pm

So whats the deal with parking at metro rail stations? As much as we all try to rid ourselves of the burden that is an automobile, sometimes occasions come up when such an option is thwarted. However, not thwarted entirely. I have a dilemma that needs some solving. How and when can you park at Metro Rail stations? Can you park there overnight? How much does it cost? Some have a “$” next to the “P” symbol, which seems to mean you have to pay on site (Hollywood/Vine). Others sites say you can buy a “Park and Ride” monthy pass, which reserves your spot each month. But what about just a day? Just a night? All night? I’ve looked all over Metro.net and can’t find the answer and the number given to call is the one for monthly permits, which is not what I’m looking for. It’s also on mountain time for some reason. Any answers?

  2. If there is just a “P,” then there is free parking (if you an find it). Overnight parking at free lots can be done, though I don’t know if it’s “allowed” - I’ve done it, but knowingly at my own risk.

  3. You can park overnight at most Metro lots. Signs are posted at each station. Over the weekend parking is generally not allowed at most Metrolink stations, though (as some people like to store one car at each Metrolink station on their trip). There usually is a 72 hour limit on cars parked, the same as for public streets.
