New Oakland Parking Validation Procedures

Beginning on Monday, November 12, there are new procedures for validating parking in the Washington Street garage at Jack London Square. The Port of Oakland has installed 2 parking validation machines on the water side of the glass doors at the Clay street ferry terminal. Starting on Monday, ferry riders wishing free parking must validate parking tickets using these machines. The Port's parking machines will no longer accept the colored validation coupons we have been using. For validated parking, please follow these steps:

For parking under 12 hours:

1. You will receive a parking ticket upon entering the garage. Bring this ticket to the ferry terminal.
2. Insert the parking ticket into one of the validation machines located on the water side of the terminal glass doors.
3. Upon returning to the garage, you can go directly to your vehicle to exit the garage. There is no need to stop at the Pay-on-Foot machines on the first floor.

For Parking for 12 or more hours:

1. You will receive a parking ticket upon entering the garage. Bring this ticket to the ferry terminal.
2. Insert the parking ticket into one of the validation machines located on the water side of the terminal glass doors.
3. Upon returning to the garage, go to the Pay-on-Foot machines on the first floor. Process your ticket as directed. You will be asked to pay for parking beyond 11 hours 59 minutes.
