HOW DO YOU PAY FOR PARKING?
VTA offers paid parking at the Berryessa and Milpitas Transit Centers. Both locations have garage and surface lot parking.
To avoid waiting for pay kiosks at transit centers, VTA recommends its riders to pay in advance for parking permits online at www.vta.org/payparking (for daily, long-term and monthly permits), or on their smartphone via the Passport app (for daily permits only). The Passport app is available on the App store and Google Play store.
There are specified parking spaces available for persons with disabilities, carpool/van pool, electric vehicles, and motorcycles. Electric vehicle charging costs $1.00 per hour while you are charging in addition to your parking permit.
Parking will be first come, first serve – no reservations are necessary.
FIRST, pick your preferred way to pay
There are three ways to pay for your parking permit:
- Online at www.vta.org/payparking (daily, long-term and monthly permits)
- On your smartphone via the Passport app (daily permit only)
- On-site pay stations (daily and long-term permits only)
NEXT, PICK YOUR PARKING PERMIT
Decide which parking permit is right for you. There are three types of parking permits available for purchase:
- $3 / day (24-hours)
- $7 / day for long-term (2+ days)
- $50 / month
* please note that VTA requires valid parking payment at all times your vehicle is at the Milpitas or Berryessa Station.
Remember your license plate number as you need it to pay for parking. Pay stations accept all major credit cards and $1 and $5 bills. As no change is provided from the pay stations, a change machine is in each parking garage to break larger bills into smaller bills.
That’s all there is to it. Now you are ready to catch the train or bus at the Berryessa and Milpitas Transit Centers.
EV CHARGER UPDATE
VTA is aware that some ChargePoint chargers at Berryessa Transit Center’s parking garage are operating at a reduced power level, resulting in slower charging. We are investigating this issue and working on a solution. If you experience an issue with slow charging, please contact us at customer.service@vta.org.
