New Equipment In Most Mason Parking Decks
If you currently have parking deck validations, are a current deck permit holder or plan to purchase one for the fall 2022 semester, you may know that there are new equipment upgrades under way in the Mason Pond (Fairfax), Rappahannock (Fairfax), and Van Metre (Mason Square) parking decks.
For departments and individuals with visitor validations for Van Metre Garage and Mason Pond Deck, the validations will need to be exchanged for new ones that utilize QR codes. You may use existing Mason Pond Deck validations in Shenandoah Deck for a short while longer, but please note that Shenandoah Deck will have new pay stations in September or October, similar to the ones in Rappahannock Deck that use validation codes instead of tickets. Also, new hourly visitor rates for all garages took effect on Aug. 8, with the all-day rate increasing to $18. Although the rate is increasing, you can replace your current validations with the new QR code validations by visiting the Parking Office at no cost.
During the transition, the gates for these decks have been up but they were lowered on Aug. 8 in the Van Metre garage and on Aug. 9 in Mason Pond when the new technology was activated.
