Usage & Vehicle Stickers

The station is for the use of Richmond and Hopkinton residents only. Richmond and Hopkinton residents may obtain a free sticker from their respective Town Hall by coming in with the registration of the vehicle that will be used at the transfer station. The vehicle must be registered in Richmond or Hopkinton in order to obtain a sticker. A temporary pass may be issued for a new resident who has not yet registered their vehicle in Richmond or Hopkinton.  Residents with leased vehicles can alternatively provide two forms of residency (ie:  car insurance, deed, voter registration, lease, or postmarked mail).
