The Pay Station issues a receipt upon payment that provides you with the time your parking expires and your space number.$1 per hour (minimum is 1 hour and maximum is 5 hours). 
Prepaid or scratch off parking hangtags are NOT valid in Lot 22 except for when displayed with a disabled parking placard on vehicles parked in designated disabled parking spaces.
