Parking spaces for Metro users at the Wiehle-Reston East garage were not available earlier this morning as construction crews work in the area.
At around 9:30 a.m. today, users attempting to park at the garage indicated no non-reserved parking spots were available, forcing some to park in reserved spots in the 2,300-space garage.
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority responded to complaints by telling users to notify an attendant at the parking gate about the lack of parking.
Users would be let out “with no charge,” WMATA wrote in a tweet.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Reserved spaces open after 10:00 a.m., if you cannot find an open spot, please go to the parking gate to notify the attendant there is no parking and be let out with no charge.
