Village to Install Automated Debit Card System at Metra Lot

Over the coming months, the Village will be working with Metra to streamline the existing daily fee payment system for commuters. The Village has entered into a contract with Total Parking Solutions, Inc. to install a Pay Station at the Metra Lot in place of the existing slot honor box system currently in use for daily fee parking. The new station would still accept cash & coins, but will also be set up to accept a debit card with a predetermined amount of time which can be purchased at the Metra Station. The commuter would simply swipe the card to deduct the daily fee. The improved system will be more convenient for commuters and require less staff time to monitor. The new system will be located in the same general area as the existing payment box. The daily parking fee will remain at $1.00 per day.
