Permit Parking
The quarterly parking permit is $105. The permit must be displayed from the inside rearview mirror of the vehicle so that it may be visible from the front of the vehicle. There is a wait list. To add your name, please call (630) 293-2200, or click here to send an e-mail. Please include your full name, address, and phone number.

Daily Parking
The cost of daily parking is $1.75 for a 24-hour period. When parking in the daily lot, the number of parking spaces to be occupied should be noted in order to make payment at the pay-by-space machines located at the south end of both daily lot locations.
