Drop-Off Etiquette
Many customers are dropped off at station parking lots. We ask those not parking to respect the needs of those who do park by following a few simple guidelines:
- Do not park in vacant permit spaces or spaces designated for disabled riders.
- Keep driveways and travel lanes clear.
- Do not stop where your car will block walkways or access to stairwells and platforms.
- Do not block vacant parking spaces.
- While waiting to pick up a passenger, be prepared to move your vehicle if it is blocking another customer’s car.
Passengers being dropped off should exit their cars promptly and not sit idling in the parking lot.
