Working to provide a more efficient and user friendly parking system for commuters at the Midlothian Metra station, the Village of Midlothian has decided to enter into an agreement with Total Parking Solutions, Inc of Downers Grove, IL to provide an automated parking fare system. The new system will replace a paper token system that the Village had adopted in 2007 that had been intended to eliminate commuter issues with the antiquated Honor Boxes. However, the paper token system only added to the frustration of commuters and Village staff. Along with the addition of the 5 new terminals, commuters will be able to use credit cards for payment, as well as, providing a Pay by Phone option.
