Parking Facilities

Middlesex County Improvement Authority (MCIA) expanded its services to include a Division of Parking, a new revenue-generating function for the county. Currently, the MCIA manages multiple parking facilities in various areas in Middlesex County including Carteret, Metuchen, and New Brunswick. In forthcoming years, newly built parking facilities, managed and operated by MCIA, will support the North Brunswick Train Station and the Community, Innovation, and Opportunity (CIO) Strategic Investment Plan, a destination emerging at Middlesex College.
