A commuter parking facility must meet certain basic requirements in order to function effectively. It should:
- be located close to public transport
- offer all-day parking availability
- not require a specific parking permit
There are commuter parking areas that are municipally owned, as well as those classified as informal parking. Informal parking refers to places where cars are parked without any responsible operator having arranged or maintained the area, yet travellers still switch to public transport from there. We do not manage the commuter parking facilities, and changes to the list may occur.

Standard criteria
We have developed criteria for what we consider to be a commuter parking facility of high standard. The assessment is based on how the site appeared at the time of inspection, along with survey responses and digital maps.
To be classified as high standard, a parking facility should meet as many of the following criteria as possible. The fewer criteria met, the lower the rating.
- Good lighting that makes the area safe and secure
- Paved surface that provides smooth and stable parking
- Marked bays that make parking easier and optimise space
- Bicycle racks with weather protection to support those switching modes of transport
- Safe walking route to the stop for a secure and smooth transition to train or bus
Together, these factors create a commuter parking facility that is practical, safe and attractive, contributing to a sustainable and efficient transport system in the region.
