Visitor & Driver Tips
For the smoothest experience, plan to arrive during off-peak hours if you are commuting during weekdays, as spots can fill up early with regular transit users. We highly recommend checking official Metro parking signage upon arrival for the most current payment requirements and zone information. Always ensure your vehicle is locked and personal items are stowed out of sight. If you are using this lot to connect to a specific event or appointment in downtown L.A., factor in the Metro travel time to ensure you arrive at your final destination punctually.
