PARKING STRUCTURE FAQ
Do the pay-on-foot devices in each parking structure give change?
Yes. The pay-on-foot devices do give change in the form of $1, $5 or $10 bills. It does take a moment for the machine to dispense the change. $50 or $100 bill are not accepted. You would need to pay with a credit card, as the pay-on-foot devices do not accept those bills. The same entry ticket that you scanned to pay for your parking is your paid ticket to exit.
I drive an electric vehicle. Are there any available charging stations in the parking structures?
There are four charging stations available in the Old Town Parking Structure. Two are available on the ground level, while two more can be found on the second level of gated parking.
There are seven charging stations in the Larry C. Hardy Parking Structure. Three are on the ground level, two on the second level, and two more can be found on the ramp to the third level. The charging stations are free to use in the Larry C. Hardy Parking Structure.
