Is There a Secret to Finding BART Parking?

Whether it's morning or afternoon — the parking garage at the downtown Concord BART station always seems full.

The Concord station has monthly reserved parking, free daily parking, extended weekend parking, free carpool parking and long-term parking. According to BART, the estimated time the parking lot fills up is 8 a.m.

So, how do you find a parking spot? Street parking nearby is scarce and limited to four hours, and cruising around the parking lot for an unlikely space can make you miss your train.

Alternatively, Concord BART has bike racks and 56 shared use electronic lockers, as well as 12 keyed lockers. Call BART customer services at 510-464-7133 to ask about availability of keyed bicycle lockers, as many stations have a wait list, according to BART.
