Customers will also be able to utilize daily parking by paying a $2 fee at pay-stations located at each lot.  Information on the CHT park and ride program and permits is available at http://www.townofchapelhill.org/index.aspx?page=2222

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) will also be implementing fees for their park and ride permits, effective August 15, 2013.  UNC park and ride permits will be honored in Town lots.  Additional information on UNC park and ride permits is available at http://www.dps.unc.edu/Transit/gettingtowork/parkandride/parkandridefees.pdf.

CHT park and rides will remain first-come, first serve to allow users to choose the most proximate and available spots (due to varied work and class schedules, spots are not consistently occupied). Permits will be valid for all CHT lots to maintain optimal capacity.
