Concord station is a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station in Concord, California. The station is located between the downtown business district to the west and residential neighborhoods to the east. Concord station has a single elevated island platform and is served by the Yellow Line.
The BART Board approved the name "Concord" in December 1965. [4] The station opened as the eastern terminus station of the BART system on May 21, 1973. [2] AC Transit bus service began in Concord on September 8, 1975, with Concord station as a hub. [5] The service was taken over by County Connection in 1982. [6]
A water feature at the station, installed by Stephen De Staebler in 1971 or 1972, was removed in the 1990s. [7] The station remained a terminus until the line was extended to North Concord/Martinez station in December 1995 and to Pittsburg/Bay Point station a year later. [2] Seismic retrofitting of the station and parking garage took place in 2009–2010. [8] [9]
A conceptual design for modernization of the station was released in 2016. The design called for consolidation of the bus platforms, relocation of the platform elevator, a new stairway, and extension of the platform canopy. [10] Thirteen BART stations, including Concord, did not originally have faregates for passengers using the elevator. In 2020, BART started a project to add faregates to elevators at these stations. The new faregate in the lobby area of Concord station was installed in October 2020. [11]
As of 2024 [update] , BART anticipates soliciting a developer between 2029 and 2033 for transit oriented development near the station, with a second phase to later replace surface parking lots. [12]
Concord is a major terminal for County Connection local bus routes:
The station is also served by Tri Delta Transit route 201X and a special-event shuttle to the Concord Pavilion. [13] [14] Buses stop on the west side of the station; most routes stop at a two-lane busway north of the station entrance, while several routes stop to the south. [15]
