What is a Park & Ride lot?
A Park & Ride lot is a group of parking spaces designated specifically for the purpose of giving people a place to park so they can meet up with their carpool, vanpool or buspool partners. Some Park & Ride lots are also served by transit. Amenities range from parking spaces only to security service, bicycle lockers, telephones, restrooms and even child care centers. A Park & Ride lot can be as big as hundreds of parking spaces with all the perks or as small as a designated area at a church or shopping center parking lot.
