Validations

Validations are a method of prepaying for parking for customers, employees, and other parties such as event guests.   Validations are sold in one-hour increments, up to 24 hours. Validations are used in conjunction with the “First Hour Free” program.

How much does a validation cost?

$1.50 for each hour, up to $13.50 for 24 hours of parking.

How can I get validations?

To place a validation request, email Parking@lincoln.ne.gov with the number and type of validations requested along with a contact person and phone number.  Your request will be responded by Park&Go staff via phone, where payment will then be processed.  All validation purchases will be sent electronically via email.  You can then print out the validation or send the validation to the parker to be used electronically.

How do I use validations?

Upon entry, the parker will obtain an entry ticket in the same manner as all other hourly customers.

Upon exiting, the parker follows these steps at the exit kiosk:

1. Scan the entry ticket. 
2. The exit kiosk will show how much is due. 
3. Scan the validation. 
4. The exit gate will raise, unless there is not enough validation to cover the cost of parking,
5. If additional funds are due, the exit kiosk will display the amount due, which then will have to be paid by the parker

Will validations work on Husker Football game days or special events?

No.  Parking validations may not be used during prepaid football or special events.

Can a validation be refunded?

No refunds will be issued for any unused validation.
