BART's board of directors approved a new pricing parking policy and fare increases on Thursday.
OAKLAND -- BART's board of directors approved a new pricing parking policy on Thursday. The proposed policy updates the allowed price ranges for BART's parking spaces and allows for the floors and ceilings to be gradually adjusted based on inflation over time.
The proposal also extends the hours for which parking is paid to include afternoons and weekends at stations where lots are 90 percent full.Parking prices will vary by station, and local parking taxes apply in certain areas. San Francisco has a parking tax of 25 percent, Oakland has a 18.5 percent tax and Berkeley has a 10 percent tax.
The average fare, which is currently $4.20, will increase by 23 cents as a result, according to a BART press release.
