Metra's Proposed 2024 Fare Structure Modifications

Metra is proposing a plan for 2024 that would simplify the fare structure to improve the rider experience. More information can be found online.

Ample paid vehicular parking and free bicycle parking is available on the north side (Boomers Stadium) of the train tracks. Overnight parking is allowed and the parking lot is not free on the weekends.

Parking on the south side of the train tracks is outside of the Village of Schaumburg, owned by Metra, and operated and maintained by SP Plus Parking.

2 Methods to Pay for Parking

Additional Mobile Payment Notes:

• The mobile app allows drivers to extend their parking session to the maximum time allowed, add or update payment card details, save their vehicle's license plate number, as well as manage notification and receipt options. The same functions are also available on the mobile website. Additionally, the mobile application and website allow users to select from multiple language options for non-English speakers.

• For users without smartphones, customers are invited to Pay-by-Voice by calling (847) 380-4332, providing the zone (60193), license plate number, and payment information.

• Users of the Passport Parking application will be charged a $.40 service fee for each initial transaction used to purchase a parking space or to extend their time. Once the maximum time has been reached, customers must leave their parking spot, or they are subject to receiving a citation.

• No Hang Tags - The permit is based on your vehicle’s License Plate Number.

• Up to four vehicles can be listed under a permit. However, only one of those vehicles may be parked in the lot at one time.

• Permit holders can set up auto-renew, which enables the permit holder to not have to manually purchase a permit each month or quarter.
