BRANCHVILLE PARKING PERMIT INFORMATION:

Effective 10/25/11, we are selling Branchville Train Station Permits for Tier 1 only (Daily commuters). Applications can be downloaded here, and must be received by November 15th at 4pm. This means the application can not be postmarked the 15th but received by the 15th.

To apply, you must include the application, a check made out to the Town of Ridgefield for $250 with Branchville permit referenced in the memo, and proof of daily commuting for three consecutive months. Failure to provide any of the aforementioned information will void your application and no outreach calls will be made due to the volume of interest. This must be mailed or delivered to the Town of Ridgefield Human Resources department at 400 Main Street, Ridgefield, CT 06877.

The permits will be issued on a first come, first serve basis to Tier 1 applicants, and there are only 40 permits for sale. If unable to provide proof of Tier 1 commuting, you will be put in tier 2 and only after all tier 1 and tier renewals are satisfied will you be eligible. If you are tier 1 but all permits have been sold, you will be put on a waiting list in the order in which your application is received.

Feel free to read the letter that accompanies the application for more information.

Thank you.
