Rahway Launches New Pilot Valet Parking Program

RAHWAY, NJ — Rahway has launched a new pilot Valet Parking Program will help downtown dining and nightlife patrons by removing the stress of having to find parking.

The program runs every Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. allowing patrons to drop off and pick up their vehicle at the intersection of Main Street and Cherry Street for a flat fee of $5, payable by cash or credit card.

The Pilot Program will run from December 2019 through January 2020.

"This luxury, cost effective, valet service is aimed at patrons looking to enhance their dining and nightlife experience by removing the stress of finding parking," Mayor Ray Giacobbe states. "It is our hope that our visitors as well as our patrons take advantage of this pilot program so we can continue to provide this type of service to our community."

This pilot program is a branch of the newly instituted parking plan that the City of Rahway announced in late October. The new parking enhancements include "pay on the go" meters that were put in place, 29 new multi-bay pay stations located throughout the downtown area and about 150 on-street spaces for metered parking.

Three municipal lots, totaling 164 spaces, are also now free from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends.
