Transit Operators

Park and Ride (P&R) lots are areas specifically dedicated for use by commuters to park vehicles while using public transit or participating in carpools or vanpools. Used as a common meeting spot, they provide adequate space and a convenient location for drivers to leave their cars while sharing the ride to work. They also alleviate community opposition to on-street parking problems in areas most suited for shared commutes.

Official P&R lots include:

• Clearly marked paved lots or gravel areas specifically designed or designated by state or local transportation officials; maintained by state or local government
• Lots or areas with alternate uses at non-peak commute times, upon official agreement with owner (e.g. church lot or extra, "fringe" parking at shopping areas)
• Lots associated with transit stops, often maintained by the transit company and for use by transit riders only.

Unofficial lots may include:

• Unused, fringe parking at shopping areas not approved by owners
• On-street parking where not specifically prohibited by law.
