2027 Parking Fees For Bernards Township Commuter Lots Approved

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Bernards Township has set its 2027 annual commuter parking permit fees, while also waiving parking fees in December for senior residents 55 and older.

On Tuesday, the Township Committee adopted a resolution setting the annual fees for parking at all township commuter lots at $165 for a resident permit and $5 for a replacement permit for people using the Stonehouse Road Bus and Basking Ridge and Lyons train station commuter parking lots.

The fee remains the same as in 2026, and there is no increase.

Additionally, Mayor Ana Duarte McCarthy said the township will again offer what she described as a holiday season parking pass at the Lyons and Basking Ridge stations for older residents.

"You will be able to park for free if you are 55 and older," McCarthy said. "That is our gift to seniors in the community."

Under the resolution, "the fees for parking at all township commuter lots are hereby waived for senior residents aged 55 or older, effective Dec. 1, 2026 through Dec. 31, 2026."

To get the senior pass, McCarthy said residents need to go to the municipal clerk's office and show proof of age.
