Metro News Release

For immediate release: July 6, 2011

Vienna south surface lot reserved parking spaces closed this weekend

This weekend, July 9 and 10, the reserved parking spaces in the Vienna South Surface parking lot will be closed as crews install new lot full sensors as part of a pilot program to indicate when the lot is full.

During this time, customer parking will be available in the South Garage, North Garage and North Surface lot throughout the weekend.

Currently, Metro riders can check real-time metered parking availability at Fort Totten station on Metro’s web site and with their mobile devices. The system uses sensors embedded in the pavement and in parking meters to let users know when spaces are available, enabling customers to save time, energy and reduce their carbon footprint by driving to a different lot or using another station to access Metro.
