Metra Lot Winter Reconfiguration from December 5 through March 31

Metra lots within the Village of Orland Park will move into a winter configuration from December 5 through March 31 to accommodate for reduced usage and reduce costs for snow operations.

Commuters may pay daily parking fares in cash or by credit card ($0.15 convenience fee) by using any of the payment terminals located at each of the three Metra parking lots (143^rd Street, 153^rd Street, and 179^th Street).  The fee for daily parking is $1.50 per parking space, per day.  Exact change must be used in the machines, as they do not give out change.  The terminals are integrated with “Passport Parking” to allow pay by phone payments.  This option has a convenience fee of $0.37 per transaction.

Monthly parking passes can be purchased at a cost of $35.00 per month for the 153^rd Street Metra station only.  Passes can be purchased in person at Village of Orland Park’s Village Hall, 14700 S. Ravinia or you may download the Monthly Commuter Parking pass form and mail it along with your check to:
