SFMTA will be replacing all parking meters in San Francisco. Approximately half the parking meters in the City will be upgraded to new single-space parking meters. The other half, including Mission Bay will get multi-space paystations with a new pay-by-license-plate parking system. The new meters have several benefits:
- Larger and more legible screens
- More intuitive user interface
- More resistant to vandalism
- More powerful batteries, so meters will remain operational a much higher percentage of the time
Here’s how the pay-by-plate meters work:
- Instead of entering your space number to pay for parking, you will enter your license plate number.
- When you pull into a parking space, head to the nearest paystation on the block, or reach for your smartphone to use the PayByPhone app, key in your license plate number and pay.
- Since the PayByPhone app stores your license plate number, you won’t have to remember or type it in every time when using the app.
New overhead signage and decals on the paystations will let you know that the pay-by-plate system is in effect
The CDC has extended the federal face mask mandate for airports, planes and public transit to May 3 2022.
You can now use your phone instead of a plastic Clipper Card to use BART:

- Add funds to your Clipper account (whether you’re using a Clipper Card or your phone).
- Funds are available for immediate use.
- Download the free app from google play or apple
- Real time scooter locations will show on the Trip Planner
- Includes Spin , LINK , or HOPR scooters
- In some cases, the estimated cost of the scooter rental will be included in the itinerary and results include direct links to book the scooter (when using BART’s official app)
- Shared electric scooters are not allowed inside BART stations or on BART trains (BART customers can bring their own personal folding electric kick-scooters on BART)
