However, there is additional parking in one of several west campus lots [W2, W4, W6, W12, and W14] where a "pay and display" machine is available. These areas are for parking after 4 p.m. weekdays and on Saturday mornings. All the lot machines accept $1 bills and coins, but do not give change. The night parking fee in those lots is $3, tax included.
