New BART Parking features make it easier and faster to pay
BART has introduced several new features to make it easier for customers to pay for parking.
Stall number entry no longer required on the official BART app
Forgot your parking stall number? No problem, we heard you. Stall number entry will no longer be required on the latest version of the official BART app. Instead, register up to 5 license plates on your account and the system will check against all of them.
Introducing “Tap and Go” – Pay for parking with one tap
The latest app version will also include a convenient new “Tap and Go” feature that allows you to pay for parking with one tap from the app home screen. To enable the feature, visit the Daily Fee section of the latest version of the app. You’ll need to create a parking wallet if you don’t already have one and register up to five license plates. Once the feature is enabled, a “pay now” button will appear on the app home screen allowing you to pay for parking with one tap.
Buy Reserved parking on BART’s website
Customers are now able to purchase reserved parking (Single/Multi-day or Monthly) on BART’s website, in addition to the official BART app. This supports those who can’t or don’t want to use an app to purchase Reserved parking. Daily Fee parking will not be available through the website and must be purchased on the official BART app or at the machines inside the station.
