***Centro Parking (under Route 81) Customer Notice***

Centro Parking received written notice on February 23, 2010 from the New York State Department of Transportation’s Real Estate Office that Centro Parking’s permit for the area located between E. Genesee St. and E. Fayette St. (Lot “U”) will be temporarily suspended upon two weeks notice in order to undertake a repair project to I-81 above the lot. 

The contractor involved in this project will be giving Centro Parking a two week notice before it will require that the lot be vacated.  This could happen as soon as the month of April 2010, and could occur any time during the month.  It is not known at this time when the project will be completed, but it could be as late as September 2010.  We urge you to explore alternative parking arrangements immediately.

Note that if you purchase a permit and the lot closes mid-month, Centro Parking will prorate your fees for that month, upon return of the valid pass for that month. 

During the project period, please check this website (www.centro.org) periodically for updates on the status of the project.

We thank you for being a Centro Parking customer and apologize for the inconvenience this may cause you.  The lot will be reopened as soon as the project is completed and the contractor is off of the site. 

If you have any questions, please call Centro Parking at 464-4539.

Centro Parking- Description of Operations

The CNYRTA, through its subsidiary Centro Parking, Inc., manages two multi-level parking garages and several surface parking lots under contract with the State University of New York (SUNY) Upstate Medical University along Adams St. east of Almond St.  Management fees generated under this contract are used help offset the costs of our Centro public bus services.  

Centro Parking also sells monthly parking passes to individuals and institutions at several parking lots located under the Route 81 overpass north of E. Genesee St. in the city of Syracuse (see note above regarding the future loss of use of one of these lots for I-81 highway repairs).  Revenues from this aspect of Centro Parking operations also directly subsidize Centro's public transit services.
