PROVIDENCE, R.I. — New, lower rates for parking at Rhode Island's state beaches are set to go into effect this week, after the season rates were recently halved.

The Westerly Sun reports (http://bit.ly/28XVSOi ) residents who purchased a season pass after May 17 will receive a credit in the form of a gift certificate that can be used to buy a future season pass.

To apply, residents must submit their contact information to the Department of Environmental Management, either in person at DEM Rhode Island State Parks Headquarters or online between July 9 and Sept. 15.

As of July 1, resident parking passes will cost $6 for weekdays, $7 for weekends and holidays and $30 for the season. Nonresident passes are $12 for weekdays, $14 for weekends and holidays and $60 for the season.
