If you are a current commuter parking permit holder and would like to register your motorcycle, please fill out the Motorcycle Parking Registration form.
This program does not have any impact on existing motorcycle parking at the Metra Stations, and commuters may continue to park their motorcycles in the free motorcycle parking spaces at both stations. Additionally, commuters with a motorcycle parking permit will be able to continue to park in their designated motorcycle parking space at the Naperville Metra Station.
