Visitor & Driver Tips
When visiting Lot #40, drivers should check posted parking regulations and stall markings, as certain spots may be reserved for designated building tenants or permit holders during weekday business hours. If you are catching the Metro Red Line or heading north toward Pike & Rose, remember to lock your vehicle, take valuables with you, and confirm your parking session via the posted payment kiosk or mobile parking app before leaving the lot.
