Town Of Vail To Offer Help With New Parking System

The Town of Vail held the second of two parking pass assistance events for employees and locals from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 26 in the Council Chambers at the Vail Municipal Building, 75 South Frontage Rd. in Vail. Participants received help in setting up their web-based parker portal, entering their preferred payment method and ensuring their supporting documents are verified. All passes were emailed prior to the start of paid parking.

Online pass sales will begin on Oct. 31. Paid parking is scheduled to begin Nov. 11.

Those with remaining balances on last year’s value cards can come to the Vail Municipal Building to receive reimbursement, bring your old value card or an ID. Amounts of up to $100 will be paid out in cash. Value card holders with balances over $100 will be mailed a check.

Employees and locals attending Wednesday’s session will need to bring:

Proof of residency/property ownership for a Vail Local Pass or Eagle County Local Pass (Examples include a lease, utility bill, mortgage statement, property tax notice or driver’s license)
Proof of employment for an Employee Pass or Employee Plus Pass – Most passes require 30 hours/week average employment for a business located in a Village Core or Vail Mountain (Examples include a letter from an employer or a paystub)
Vehicle Information (Year, make, model, and license plate number)
