The Millbrae parking garage will be reconfigured over the next few weeks to accommodate for more reserved parking and the growing demand for single/multi-day reserved parking. The top floor of the garage and a portion of the 4th floor will be converted from Daily Fee to Reserved parking in preparation for the holiday season.

Millbrae is a popular and convenient station for BART riders to park and access the San Francisco International Airport, just a quick 4-minute BART ride away. This change supports customers purchasing single/multi-day reserved parking when they are headed to the airport. Customers may purchase single/multi-day reserved parking at Millbrae on the BART Official App or on BART’s website.

There is still ample parking for Daily Fee parking on the first three floors of the garage. In the next few months, additional Daily Fee parking will become available at the nearby surface parking lot.

The installation of Next Generation Fare Gates is scheduled to begin Monday, April 7 at El Cerrito del Norte Station. The installation process is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete for each of the station’s two sets of gates. 

During construction, there will be a barrier around the gates being replaced.  The opposite set of gates will remain in service during the installation. There will be signage and additional BART staff to direct riders to the open gates. The work will not affect train service, but riders may experience a few extra minutes wait to pass through the fare gates during peak travel hours.

The latest work comes after BART has successfully installed Next Generation Fare Gates at 25 other stations across the system. All 50 BART stations will have new fare gates by the end of 2025. You can learn more about BART’s Next Generation Fare Gate project here.

On Monday, May 26, Memorial Day, BART will run a Sunday schedule for the holiday. This means BART will be operating from around 8am until around midnight. All five lines will be in service until around 9pm. After 9pm, BART will run three-line (Yellow, Blue, and Orange) service. 

For the most up-to-date schedule information use our Trip Planner or our official BART app to plan your specific trip.  

Memorial Day is also a parking holiday. Parking will be free at all stations except for Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose stations; The Valley Transportation Authority operates the lots at Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose and their parking rates still apply. (Consult the VTA's site for more info on parking: Parking at the Milpitas & Berryessa Transit Centers | VTA.)  All other parking rules will be enforced. 

On Monday, August 11, crews will begin installing components for a new Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) system. This process will require all BART trains that normally arrive at Platform 3 to instead use Platform 2 from 9:30am-3:30pm on weekdays. The work is expected to last for approximately one month. 

Riders who would normally transfer between Caltrain and BART will now have to go up to the concourse level of Millbrae Station and cross over the tracks to make their transfer. There will be additional staff and signage to help riders find their train. The work is not expected to impact train service. 

Once fully installed at all 50 stations, the new CBTC system will allow BART to safely run more trains and will also enhance reliability by replacing aging equipment. You can learn about BART’s train control modernization efforts here.
