I parked at short hills train station this morning at the full day parking meter. The meter did not appear o be working. I am now worried that I will get fined.
The instructions above suggest that the meter will not register any money until I reach $5. I gave up after putting in a dollar in quarters because it was not acknowledging my payment and there was no way of getting my money back. Have I done the wrong thing? Will I get fined?
I am new to the area and won't have a permit for another 2 months.

So, if a Short Hills resident wants to take the train to NYC for the day, but has no permit, there are no parking options. Do I have to take a taxi to the train station?

What I have done when I just needed the occasional day of parking was to buy a $5 token ahead of time at Town Hall (you can also use $5 worth of quarters) and park across from the Cora Hartshorn Arboretum on Chatham Road. You have to hike a block or so to the train station, but it's a 12 hour meter.

There are long term metered spots on Chatham Road by Taylor that you can use. Just be sure to bring LOTS of quarters.

i thought there was a short delay at times, but that may not be the case now as MarkDS indicates. Give a call to find out.

I know I am really late on this thread but instead of fixing the problems of parking for near by towns to get into NYC, they add more parking for businesses. I guess the rich MIllburn residents are selfish with their train station even though our tax dollars help fund NJT.
