Pay for parking via app in Vernon Hills

Commuters using the Vernon Hills Metra station soon will be able to pay for parking with their phones, following village board approval of a new parking payment program.

Passport Parking works via a phone app and is used in Buffalo Grove, Mundelein, Des Plaines, Glenview and other communities. The company is a partner with Total Parking Solutions, which provides the existing payment machines at the station.

The service is expected to be available later this summer and will include a 37 cent per use transaction fee. There is no cost to the village.
