Overview & Suitability
The Greenlawn LIRR Station Parking is a municipal facility managed by the Town of Huntington, primarily serving commuters using the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) Greenlawn station. The lot features approximately 75 parking spaces, providing a vital transit-oriented parking solution for daily commuters and local visitors.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
The facility is located at 11 Railroad St, Huntington, NY. Access is straightforward for standard passenger vehicles; however, there are no specific provisions for oversized vehicles, campers, or large trailers. Navigational ease is typical for a suburban commuter station lot, with standard parking stalls and clear signage.
Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking
Parking regulations are strictly enforced on weekdays.
- A valid Commuter Parking Permit is required for parking between 6:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
- Daily parking options are available for those without permits, utilizing the Passport Parking app (Zone #11731) at a flat rate of $12.00 per day.
- Short-term parking for up to 2 hours is often available, though users should always verify posted signage for the most current rules.
Security & Amenities
The lot is designed as an open-air surface facility. While it benefits from the high-traffic environment of a commuter hub, it does not feature gated security or 24/7 staffing. Amenities include proximity to the LIRR platforms and connections to the HART bus system, which services local routes including the H4 and H6 lines.
Strategic Alternatives
This station serves as an excellent alternative for commuters looking to avoid the congestion of larger transit hubs. It is strategically positioned for residents of Greenlawn, Northport, and East Northport, offering a more accessible transit point compared to the main Huntington station.
