Commonly asked questions
Park and ride facilities are a great option for people who have a long commute, don't live near a transit route, or need a convenient place to meet their vanpool or carpool.
Are park and rides secure?
Most park and rides are not staffed by an attendant, but police typically patrol them.
Some park and rides are equipped with enhanced lighting, emergency call boxes and security cameras.
Wherever you park, it's always wise to be aware of your surroundings. Do not leave valuables visible inside your vehicle, and always lock up.
Can I leave my car for as long as I want?
At most lots, signs indicate the maximum allowable parking time (usually 48 hours). Maximum parking periods are enforced by law, and violators may be towed.
How are the rules enforced?
Transit agencies that operate and maintain park and rides work closely with local law enforcement to keep them safe and secure. The Washington State Patrol enforces laws at lots operated by WSDOT.
When will new park and rides be added?
WSDOT and transit agencies are building partnerships to add new park and rides, and increase capacity at existing lots. From asking churches and community centers to share lot space, to working with developers and property owners to include park and rides under new residential and retail buildings, innovation is expanding this commute option.
