Pittsburg Center station is a Bay Area Rapid Transit station on the Yellow Line.[4] It is located at the Railroad Avenue overpass of Highway 4 in Pittsburg, California and serves the downtown area of about one mile (1.6 km) away via connecting buses provided by Tri Delta Transit. There is no reserved parking available at this station.[2]
History
Construction of the station was uncertain at the time of eBART's approval due to lack of available funds.[5] The station was originally known as Railroad Avenue during planning.[6] The city later chose Pittsburg Civic Center, which BART rejected because of its similarity to Civic Center/UN Plaza station. In January 2015, the city accepted BART's proposal of Pittsburg Center.[7]
Funding for the station was secured in early 2015 and was estimated at $11.9 million (equivalent to $16 million in 2023). Construction commenced on July 27, 2015,[8] and was opened with the rest of the line on May 26, 2018.[5]
As of February 2024[update], Pittsburg Center was the least-used station on the BART system, with 467 daily boardings.[3]
