    Information Regarding Your Assigned Parking Lot

    Please keep the following important reminders in mind regarding your assigned parking lot:

    • Badges must be used in sequence: One entry must be followed by one exit before the badge can be used again.

    • Badges are for individual use only: Each card is assigned to a single user and should not be shared.

    • Always swipe your badge – even if the gate is raised: This helps the system accurately track entries and exits.

    • Need help? If you encounter any issues or are stuck at the gate, use the call center button on the kiosk for immediate remote assistance.
