Pricing and permit options can be found on the 2023 Commuter Parking Application or as listed below. As a reminder: Daily parking is still available at both stations by paying $2 per day at the pay box or on the PassPort Parking Application.


To continue to provide commuter flexibility, the 2023 permits will remain interchangeable between the Downtown Glenview and Glen of North Glenview Train Stations. This option was implemented last year based on customer feedback provided by our commuters. For record keeping purposes, you will be asked on the application which station is your primary choice; however, you may park at either station.
