Costs for Lots and Structures
-
Arbor Parking Structure: Pay-by-space machines are located on levels 1-8.
- Patients and visitors can park in a numbered parking stall, note the stall number posted on a sign or on the ground, and pay at the pay-by-space machine using cash or a credit card.
- There are two ways you can add parking time. You can extend your parking by text. Use a credit card to pay for parking at the pay station and when prompted, add your cell phone number. You will receive a reminder text message when your parking is about to expire. To extend your parking time, reply to the text message with the amount of parking time you need. You can also add more time at the machines located near the hospital cafeteria and in the lobby of Medical Offices South. You will need to use the "add time" code that is on your parking receipt.
- You do NOT need to display the ticket on your dashboard; in fact, you will need your ticket on hand if you need to add additional hours.
- 24-hour tickets have return parking privileges in any visitor parking space in Arbor Parking Structure, but you must
display your ticket on your dashboard.
