Q:  How do I go about parking at the railroad station?

2008 Bethel Metro North Train Parking Permits are in the process of being renewed. For those lucky enough to hold a current parking permit for the train station, you should have received a letter, and renewal form. The letters were mailed out November 6th, 2007 If the current parking permit holder does not renew his/her permit by December 7th, 2007 that permit becomes available to persons registered on our waiting list. We will begin contacting these people the following week. For those not currently registered on our waiting list that desire a parking permit, you may email Assistant Town Clerk, Eileen Jelinski at jelinskie@betheltownhall.org please put "Metro-North Parking Permit Waiting List" in the subject line.
Please include you name, address, and phone number.

The station is a state parking lot. Anyone may use it. Meters are .25/hour (takes only quarters) and go up to 24 hours. Weekends and holidays are free of charge.

Please visit the Bethel Metro-North Station website for additional information.
