Parking

Permit parking is operated by the West Windsor Parking Authority. All spaces on the New York-bound side as well as most of the spaces on the Philadelphia-bound side are in permit lots. West Windsor Township residents have approximately a two year wait to buy permits for $75 per quarter; nonresident permits cost $120 per quarter and have a waiting period twice as long.


Daily parking is available in a close-in lot just north of the Princeton Branch platform; this lot fills by 6:30 AM on workdays. After that, you can park in the rear of the paved lot on the south side of Vaughn Drive. When the daily spaces in that lot are taken, the attendant will direct you to the gravel permit lot across the road. Daily parking is $3.
