From November 1st - May 20th passengers may park directly on the State Pier, which will make traveling from New Bedford even easier.
New discount rates will also be offered. In addition to the current daily rate of $10 a new monthly discount is now available. For $120 per month commuters will effectively be receiving a 40% discount and be paying only $6 per day for a five day work week. There will also be an even greater discount for those passengers wishing to purchase an annual parking pass for $500. These commuters will be paying less than $2 per day!
Passengers with Elm Street parking passes may also park on the pier during the winter and in the Whales Tooth lot in the summer.
The Pier's parking lot will be manned with 24 hour security staff.
