Safe and convenient, park-and-ride locations help commuters park their cars close to home and catch a
carpool, vanpool, bus or train to work. These also are convenient meeting spots for shopping and other
recreational trips. Park-and-ride locations are usually free, although occasionally permits or fees may be required.
