BART updates parking payment options with new features

Person using BART app in front of BART parking lot

BART has implemented several updates to improve the experience of paying for parking. 

More ways to pay for Daily Fee parking 

Customers can now purchase Daily Fee parking on BART’s website, in addition to the official BART app and at the machines inside the station. This new option supports customers who prefer not to download or use an app for parking payments. 

New self-service features 

Download payment history: Customers can now download their complete payment transaction history from BART’s website– particularly useful for riders seeking monthly reimbursement for commute expenses. 

Self-refund parking wallet: BART’s Parking Wallet automatically loads $25 and reloads when your balance drops below $5, making sure you never run out of funds for parking. Customers can now refund their wallet balance directly through the app without contacting customer service.

BART hosts first of two interactive career fairs

BART hosted the first of two interactive career fairs Wednesday, February 26th at North Berkeley Station, featuring dozens of job and internship opportunities as well as hands-on experiences to learn about careers at BART and its community partners.
