About this Location

Facility Overview

The Exit 90 Park and Ride located at 7585 W Grand River Hwy in Lansing, Michigan, is a vital commuter hub managed to facilitate effortless carpooling and regional transit connection.

Visitor & Driver Tips

While parking at this state commuter lot is free and straightforward, keep a few helpful pointers in mind. Parking is designed for commuter and short-term transit use; vehicles should not be left unattended for extended weeks without moving. During severe Michigan winter weather, arrive a few minutes early to account for snowplow operations along highway ramps and within the lot perimeter. Always practice standard vehicle safety: lock your doors, roll up windows completely, and keep all personal valuables, bags, and electronic devices out of plain view before heading out on your journey.
