Parking Fees in Stafford County

Don't forget that soon there is going to be a new exit at about MM 136 on 95S. Perhaps they'll build another commuter lot there?? Or at least I can "really" hope...

Slugbuddy.....when did Leeland Station start charging for VRE parking? I have taken the train out of there many times and never paid?

This is a terrible idea. If the lots are built by VDOT with state money, then they should be available to all VA residents. If you want county specific lots then get your county to build them with county money.
You need to remember that even if further out people are parking in those lots, the people of Stafford are still gettting the benefit of fewer cars on I-95.
Do you really want a lot that the state paid for to be converted into a county government revenue source?
While you are at it why don't you get VDOT to turn over a section of I-95 to Stafford so they can charge out of county people for using the road.

Mirangus, I dont think so. That may free up a few spots, but the real issue is that Stafford County is grower faster than VDOT can keep up with it.

I think it's a wonderful idea. Yeah, we're all on this together, but not until we get out on the 95. The county should take over the lots and ticket non-county residents for parking. It's simple to enforce, if you have your county-specific car tax tag, you're good to go; if you're in the military, then the county gives you a sticker indicating that you are a resident of that county allowing you to park in the county's lots. For those of you living further south on the 95 line and who want to park at Horner, perhaps the county could charge you for an annual parking pass: $100.00. I'm tired of arriving at 234, Horner, PM and every other lot each morning only to find out those lots are filled and the majority of those parked are from Stafford, Spotsylvania and F-burg. Then I get lectured from the early birds: "arrive earlier!" Well, coming into the office at 7am is not an option. Petition your community leaders to do what leaders in PWC have had the foresight to do: build more and larger lots. Making it possible for commuters to connect at lots closest to their homes makes a lot sense and it would sure ease the commutes home for all of us. Think of the poor F-burg slug parked at Horner on Friday in July. After he transfers at Horner, he's got to endure I-95 South traffic for another 20 miles on the choked up main lanes. Now if that slug had parked at a lot near his home, he'd be smooth sailing for most of the way home.
