Facility Overview
The P+R Tabler Station, located at 185 Co Rte 81/3 in Martinsburg, WV, functions primarily as a designated Park and Ride facility. This is an open-air, surface-level asphalt lot designed to facilitate seamless transitions for commuters. Given its nature as an outdoor surface lot, there are no vertical clearance restrictions, making it an excellent choice for full-size pickup trucks, SUVs, and high-roof commuter vans that might struggle in standard covered parking garages.
