Parking at the Chatham train station is a contentious issue among residents. The existing parking lot is owned by Chatham Borough and used as a source of revenue. Borough residents can purchase parking permits for the station's north and south lots, with excess lots available for township residents and residents of other towns to purchase daily permits for.
Parking at the station is strictly enforced and is often full during commuting hours.
