How to Buy a Parking Permit
For frequent transit riders, Metro offers parking permit options at select stations that can be purchased online. Here’s how it works and how to buy.
Daily Parking Permit
Paying for daily parking is easy and convenient – just follow three simple steps: Park. Pay. Ride.
- Arrive at the station and park your vehicle.
- Pay for parking at the on-site kioks, with the Metro Parking mobile app (available through Google Play and the App Store ) or online at ParkAtMetro.net .
- Ride transit.
To complete this transaction, you will need the following:
- Vehicle license plate number
- TAP card number
- Form of payment
- Parking lot zone number (when paying online or w/Metro Parking app)
Not all stations require daily parking permits so be sure to refer to the Parking Lots by Line to see if your station requires paid daily parking.
