## Waukegan Station Car Parks

The station is served by city parking facilities rather than a single car park operated by Metra.

Metra lists the station address as 95 N. Spring St. and gives the city of Waukegan as the parking contact (metra.com). A separate Waze listing identifies a Waukegan Metra Station parking lot at 1 Washington St. (waze.com). The city’s parking system charges 25 cents for 30 minutes, with a $1 minimum for credit-card payments (waukegan-il.ipsgroupsmartcity.com).

## Street Parking by 95 North Spring Street

Street parking around the station sits within Waukegan’s municipal parking system.

Waukegan provides a parking-permit application, and reduced-rate permits and business-owner permits are available through the city when proof of address is provided (waukeganil.gov). The city’s Smart City parking system sets the charge at 25 cents for 30 minutes and requires a $1 minimum when paying by credit card (waukegan-il.ipsgroupsmartcity.com). Those details matter for a short station visit, while permit rules matter for drivers leaving a car during a regular commute.

## Commuter Parking Choices at the Station

Regular commuters can use Waukegan’s permit system rather than relying only on pay-station parking. The city offers a parking-permit application, with reduced-rate permits and permits for business owners available through the same service when proof of address is provided (waukeganil.gov).

Lot G is identified as a METRA facility on the city’s list (waukeganil.gov). For a shorter stay, the Smart City rate is 25 cents for 30 minutes, with a $1 minimum for credit-card use (waukegan-il.ipsgroupsmartcity.com).

Parksy lists outdoor parking-lot spaces in Waukegan 179 yards from the station. These spaces suit drivers who want an off-street lot close to the platforms and do not need a driveway-style space.

Parksy also lists lot parking at 6 E. Madison St., 205 yards from the station. The Madison Street spaces are another off-street option for commuters who prefer a private listing near the station rather than a municipal facility. The listed spaces are close enough to consider for a walk to 95 North Spring Street, although the 179-yard and 205-yard distances are longer than a few steps.

## Getting to Waukegan Station Without Driving

Metra identifies the station at 95 N. Spring St. in Waukegan and publishes waiting-room information for the facility (metra.com). The station is 0.9 mi from Waukegan center, giving central-area residents a defined walking distance before considering a car.

Drivers using rail can also look at the METRA parking facility identified as Lot G on Waukegan’s official parking page (waukeganil.gov). The city lists 1 Washington St. as the location of a Waukegan Metra Station parking lot in a separate parking listing (waze.com). These locations keep the parking search focused on the station area rather than requiring a transfer from a distant suburb.
