EZ Rider Parking Program - I can't wait to use it!

EZ Rider Parking Program
Information regarding the EZ Rider Parking Program can be found at the BART EZ Rider website, https://ezrider.bart.gov and passengers can register for the parking program beginning November 3. Once registered for the program, a passenger will receive a parking hangtag and/or an EZ Rider card (if you are not already an EZ Rider customer). This system enables the BART rider to park in any daily fee parking space, go to an EZ Rider PVM, touch the EZ Rider card to the PVM reader and then proceed to the platform. “With a touch of your card, your hangtag number is activated for the day,” Murray added. “The technology generates a daily list of all hangtag numbers that are validated. BART Police staff will print out this list before they start their enforcement activities.”

Signing up for the EZ Rider Parking Program will be free through January 31, 2009. Beginning February 1, people registering for the program will be assessed a $5.00 fee for the EZ Rider card and $2.00 fee for the hangtag. The same fees will apply for lost or damaged cards or hangtags.

The first station to impelement the program is Orinda, with a scheduled start date of November 10. Over the next two months, parking validation machines will be phased in at 14 other stations. Below is a list of stations that will accept the EZ Rider card for parking payments and the dates scheduled for when you will be able to start using the card.
