The Park and Ride Program is designed to encourage and support commuter ridesharing across Maine. It reduces traffic congestion, roadway wear and tear, and greenhouse gas emissions. MaineDOT’s Park and Ride program includes parking areas owned and operated by MaineDOT as well as locations owned and operated by others who have agreed to have their parking area listed as a Park and Ride available to the public.
Please follow these Park & Ride rules:
- The use of Park & Ride lots is at your own risk. Be sure to lock up before you leave your car. MaineDOT is not responsible for any stolen or damaged property.
- Commercial activity, camping, soliciting, littering or loitering is prohibited.
- RV’s, campers, trailers or vehicles longer than 24 feet are not permitted.
- Trailers left unhitched to a vehicle are not permitted.
- Parking for more than 24 hours is not permitted between November 1st and April 30th. This ensures that we can plow and maintain the lots during snow season.
