Parking: BART parking is typically reserved for riders parking and using BART. However, since parking along E. 12th Street will be removed for buses during this phase, BART is offering non BART riders the ability to park at BART during the closure. Parking is only available in the Daily Fee area on Garage levels 3-5, and the surface lot north of Fruitvale Avenue. Daily Fee parking payment must be made via the BART Official App; payment should be made when the customer parks. . A Clipper Card number is required to buy Daily Fee parking on the app; learn more about how to obtain a free clipper card here: Clipper and Pay by Phone | Bay Area Rapid Transit (bart.gov). Daily Fee parking at Fruitvale is $3.55/day on weekdays and includes the City of Oakland parking tax. Customers who do not pay for parking may be subject to citation. Daily Fee parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis and at your own risk.
