According to Chicago Breaking News, the Chicago Department of Transportation announced on December 31st, that parking rates for most parking lots at both O'Hare and Midway would go up on last Monday, January 4th.

Prices at all long-term parking lots will go up by $1.

Most short term parking remains the same and cell phone parking lots are still free.

The last minute announcement, made the evening just before a major holiday, is a tactic used by politicians to duck the media spotlight.
