PCH Parking Updates

Beginning December 1, the parking lot gates and machines will go-live and PCH parking will transition from a Pay-and-Display system, to a gated, Pay-on-Exit system.

Upon entering the parking lot users will obtain a time-stamped ticket at the gate. When leaving, users will use a Pay-on-Exit machine to obtain a paid ticket prior to exiting the site (see below for full instructions). There will be Pay Stations located within the entrance doors to PCH, covered machines in the parking lots, as well as Pay-on-Exit stations. 10-exit and monthly passes are also available for purchase.
