The $0.99 Transaction Fee Explained
Benefits for You

In that spirit, we want to be transparent with you and what you’ll pay when parking with us.
Currently, you’re able to pay through our trusted partner, Metropolis, or with cash. Metropolis allows you to quickly and easily pay for your parking, and registration is simple. If you’d like to pay with cash, you can still continue to do so by exiting through the “Cashier” lane.

The transaction fee helps support the implementation of state-of-the-art parking technology, including vehicle imaging and automated payment systems. These tools eliminate the need for tickets or paper receipts, saving you time and reducing stress during your travels.
2. Payment Flexibility for All Users

3. Enhanced Security and Efficiency
By using cameras to capture vehicle details at entry and exit, the system minimizes errors. This ensures a secure, fair, and efficient experience for everyone.
4. Maintaining the Facility
Parking lots require regular maintenance, upgrades, and security measures. The transaction fee contributes to keeping the parking facility safe, clean, and functional for all users.
