Park at any Metrorail surface lot or parking garage for just $4 a day seven days a week, including holidays, when you ride Metrorail. Or, buy the monthly parking permit sold for $6.25 to Metropass users. Golden Passport and Patriot Passport users, who also must pay to park at Metrorail, can pay the $4 daily parking fee or buy the $6.25 monthly parking permit. Metrorail station parking fees may be higher for special events and for non-transit patrons. People with disabilities park free at Metrorail stations, as long as a state-issued parking permit for people with disabilities is displayed on the rearview mirror.

Parking Receipt Machines
Parking receipt machines accept coins only and issue a parking receipt. Use two tokens plus a $1 Susan B. Anthony or other US dollar coin, or any combination of quarters, dimes, and nickels adding up to the $4 daily (seven days a week) parking fee. Your train fare and the parking fee are paid separately and before you board the train.
If You Pay Daily to Park
Remember your parking space number. It's painted on the pavement in each space. Before entering the station, be sure to have $4 in coins for parking. Parking receipt machines don't accept dollar bills. Look for change machines at the entrance to the station near the turnstiles.
Now, pay your train fare and enter the station. At the parking receipt machine, punch in your parking space number. Then deposit $4 (seven days a week) in any combination of coins, including two tokens with a Susan B. Anthony or other US dollar coin, quarters, dimes, and nickels. Take your receipt before boarding the train. Keep it until returning to your car.

Parking With a Monthly Permit
Riders who use Metropass, the Golden Passport, or the Patriot Passport can buy a $6.25 monthly parking permit. With the permit, there is no $4 daily charge to park. However, the permit must be displayed at all times on the rearview mirror and be visible to the parking enforcement officer.
The $75 Metropass and $37.50 Discount Metropass (for Medicare cardholders and other elderly, people with disabilities, and youth) are sold countywide. Call 305-770-3131 (305-891-3131, south of SW 216 Street) for the nearest outlet. You can also save on each Metropass purchase by buying in groups of five or more. Call the Group Metropass office at 786-469-5558.
