Ron Szeto, Acting Director of the Parking Authority, says, “We are very excited about the opportunity to work with Berkeley Rep on this new pilot parking program. We hope that this partnership will enable people to enjoy the arts more freely, reduce traffic on the highways and create a more environmentally sound Bay Area by increasing the use of BART to the East Bay.”
To use this service, Berkeley Rep patrons must validate their parking tickets when exiting the Theatre at the House Manager’s Office. Patrons will have 5 hours from entry at Civic Center to take advantage of this $4 parking price. Please remember you must present your validated parking ticket to the parking attendant at the Civic Center garage on your return.
