The Bay Area Rapid Transit announced it is considering changes to its parking policy, including parking rates and hours.
BART is considering potential changes to its parking policy, where BART may charge for parking from 4 am to 6 pm, 7 days a week, and adjust the allowed range of parking rates within the $3 – 8 range. Rates would only increase within this range if the lot fills, and only periodically. Most lots are not expected to fill for several years. This policy change would help BART prepare for future travel trends and support improvements to the BART system.
They are now asking the public to tell them what you think by taking the survey online now through December 16 at https://bart.gov/parkingsurvey.
You can enter a drawing to win a $130 Clipper card at the end of the survey to thank you for your time.
The questions include:
About how often do you currently ride BART?
BART is considering potential changes to its parking policy, which was last updated in 2013. BART would adjust parking rates within the range of $3 – $8. Rates would only increase within this range if the lot fills, and only periodically. Most lots are not expected to fill for several years. This policy change would help BART prepare for future travel trends and support improvements to the BART system. Please refer to table below for details.
Do you support or oppose these proposed changes to BART’s parking rates?
BART currently charges for parking Monday – Friday from 4 am – 3 pm, but is considering expanding the hours from 4 am – 6pm, as well as charging for parking on the weekends. Do you support or oppose BART expanding the hours it charges for parking?
Do you have any comments on how this change would impact you?
Low-Income Discount Program for Eligible Parkers
In order to keep access to BART affordable, BART is currently studying a parking discount program for low-income riders. Could this reduce the impact of the proposed parking changes on you?
Surveys will be available in Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Tagalog, and Russian. Additionally, taglines will be included to assist parkers with limited English proficiency.
