Location

North Concord/Martinez station is a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station located in the Sun Terrace neighborhood of Concord, California. The station serves the northern area of Concord and nearby Martinez. It is located near State Route 4. It is served by the Yellow Line.

History

The North Concord/Martinez station opened on December 16, 1995. It served as the terminal station of the line until December 7, 1996, when the extension over Willow Pass to Pittsburg/Bay Point station opened. [3] The station briefly served as the terminus again from March 16–21, 2016 (and at off-peak times until April 2) after electrical issues north of the station damaged a number of trains. [5] [6] Some peak hour trains began short turns at North Concord in 2003. [7]

Sandwiched between low-density residential areas to the west and the Concord Naval Weapons Station to the east, it is among the least-used stations on the BART system, with 610 daily boardings in February 2024. [4] [7] A 2018 study recommended a footbridge over the BART tracks south of the station to improve access from the adjacent neighborhood. [8]
