VEHICLE STICKERS TRUSTEES UNANIMOUSLY AGREE ON NEW PROGRAM
NEW PROGRAM TO BE APPROVED ON MAY 2ND
On May 2, the Mayor and Trustees will vote to enact a new vehicle sticker program which was discussed and unanimously agreed upon by all Trustees at the April 11th Administrative Committee meeting. Village residents will soon learn more about the Village’s completely-revamped sticker program and overnight parking restrictions expected to launch by July 1. Until then, please know that your current vehicle sticker is still valid. “You’re good to go with the resident and/or handicapped sticker (pictured) currently displayed on your vehicle,” explained Mayor Mengoni. “That sticker is acceptable until the new program starts. Enjoy the free ride while we get ready to roll out the details.” The 2022 program will include a new sticker design, updates to overnight parking and a new fee structure for stickers. The last time there was a Village vehicle sticker price increase was back in 2013! Here’s how the new sticker program will work: • The first two vehicles registered will cost $40 per vehicle. Each additional vehicle will carry an additional cost of $20 per vehicle, with no limit. The more cars you register, the higher the cost. For example, 3rd vehicle=$60, 4th vehicle=$80, 5th vehicle=$100 and so on. • Senior citizens, disabled residents and veterans will be discounted to $10, with a limit of 2 discounted stickers per home. • Commercial vehicles (including trucks that have a Class D license plate) will cost $80 each. • All vehicles registered to a North Riverside address or which are provided as a company take-home vehicle and housed daily in town must be registered and display a current vehicle sticker. The new program will make it unlawful for any vehicle to park overnight on a public street without a current Village sticker or a valid Village-issued visitor pass. It is our hope that this new program will motivate residents to use their garages or other off-street parking options to park their vehicles overnight, thereby taking more cars off the Village streets each night. Due to the high volume of cars parked on our streets, it has been increasingly difficult to deliver the high-quality and essential services that North Riverside residents expect and deserve.
new DISCOUNT For veterans
Discounts for seniors and disabled residents will remain in tact, however, a new discount for veterans will also be featured. Senior, disabled and veteran stickers are $10 with a limit of two (2) per house. For any additional stickers needed, the full price will apply.

Parking “Book”
Residents will no longer have to call in visitors or guests staying at their home. Instead, as part of the new program, you will be able to purchase a book of 10 visitor passes for $25. Any car parked overnight on the street must have a sticker or a daily visitor pass that is completely filled out with the date and it must be affixed to the vehicle’s driver’s side side window. Visitor pass books will be available during business hours at the North Riverside Police Department Records division or at the Village Hall when the new vehicle stickers go on sale.
