North Concord/Martinez 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.

Sandwiched between low-density residential areas to the west and the Concord Naval Weapons Station to the east, the station has low ridership despite the 2003 addition of rush-hour short turn trains.[3] In 2017, North Concord/Martinez had the third-lowest ridership in the system; only the 2014-opened Oakland International Airport station and 2017-opened Warm Springs/South Fremont station were less used.[2]

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.[1]

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.[4][5]

Bus connections

The station is served by County Connection bus routes 17, 28, and 99X plus school route 627, all of which stop on the east side of the station.[6]
