$5.00 daily parking fee at West Oakland Station begins December 12

Beginning Monday, December 12, 2005, BART will be implementing a $5.00 daily parking charge at West Oakland Station as part of its paid parking program. The paid parking program is being implemented at BART's 10 busiest stations in the East Bay. Payment of parking fees will be required on weekdays between 4:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. The fee/permit program will offer customers a variety of parking options while helping BART maintain high quality service and meet its difficult financial challenges.

New signs will be installed designating Permit and Fee areas. The Permit area is restricted to customers with monthly reserved, single day reserved until 10:00 a.m. After 10 a.m., any available space becomes a daily paid space.

5) Retrieve your receipt.

Other Parking Options
