The West Windsor Parking Authority's Permit Parking Program offers regular commuters the opportunity to secure guaranteed parking spaces at the Princeton Junction Station. Parking permits are issued on a quarterly basis and are valid for the three month period specified on the permit. A permit holder is not assigned a specific parking space, but is assured a space within the designated permit parking area.
The Authority operates three separate permit parking facilities:
The first permit parking facility, owned and operated by the West Windsor Parking Authority, is located on the New York bound side of the tracks and is referred to as the Wallace Road permit lot. Parking permits for this lot are available to residents of West Windsor Township only. Patrons may apply for these permits only if they reside at a West Windsor Township address. The current rate is $100 per quarter.
The second permit parking facility, owned and operated by the West Windsor Parking Authority, is located on the Philadelphia bound side of the tracks and is referred to as the Vaughn Drive lot. Parking permits for this lot are available to residents of West Windsor Township only. Patrons may apply for these permits only if they reside at a West Windsor Township address. The current rate is $100 per quarter.
Wallace Road permit holders who give up Township residency must forfeit their parking permits, and they will be transferred into the Alexander Road permit lot at the beginning of the new quarter. Vaughn Drive lot permit holders who give up Township residency will not be automatically transferred, but will remain on the Alexander Road list if not previously notified.
The third permit parking facility, owned by the New Jersey Transit and operated by the Authority, is located on the Philadelphia bound side of the tracks and is referred to as the Alexander Road permit lot. Parking Permits for this lot are available to all applicants at the current rate of $165 per quarter.
Alexander Road permit holders who move into West Windsor Township may retain their Alexander Road permits and assume a position at the bottom of the Wallace Road waiting list.
