RFID transponders will soon be mandatory

RFID transponders will soon be mandatory for residents accessing the community, the vehicle decals will no longer be accepted for access.

When a 2020 window decal expires, a new one will not be issued. Instead, the POA will issue a permanent numbered parking decal and an RFID transponder. Residents who already have a transponder will be issued a permanent parking decal when their 2020 decal expires.

Starting with the north gate on Jan. 13, residents without an RFID transponder will be required to use the guest lane. This change will occur at the east gate on Feb. 17 and the main gate on Mar. 16.

The first lane at the main and east gate will be designated for guests and residents without an RFID transponder or POA card. The second lane will be designated for residents with an RFID transponder, a POA Card and returning guests with a pass. The third lane will be designated for residents with RFID transponders.

RFID transponders are free for residents. Residents must bring their golf cart or vehicle that needs an RFID transponder to the POA office along with a current registration and photo identification, such as a POA card or driver’s license. A staff member will apply the transponder to the vehicle.
