History

[edit]
The 2020-installed elevator faregate

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, 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]
