Sound Transit says it will expand its parking permit program on May 1 to include more Link station garages and two new paid permit types.
They say it will help riders access spaces in the park-and-ride garages.
Permit-eligible facilities are those that regularly fill to 90% of capacity or more on weekdays.
Riders can apply for free monthly carpool (HOV) permits and paid monthly, and one-day advance reserved single-occupant (SOV) permits at some stations.
They say from 4 am to 10 am on weekdays, permit parking zones are for permitted vehicles only. They are available to all passengers after 10 am on weekdays and all day on weekends and holidays.
Sound Transit says permits are limited. They will adjust the permit area, pricing, and availability depending on demand and usage.
