The station consists of two elevated side platforms.
Service at this station began on May 21, 1973.[3]
This station is in BART District 1 and is represented by Gail Murray who is also current BART President.[4]
A new parking garage opened at the station with 1,547 space on June 30, 2008.[5] The purpose is to move parking to a vertical platform from the ground level areas where a transit village will be built.[5]
An improved access path to the station better connecting it with the Iron Horse Regional Trail was proposed before the Walnut Creek City Council on July 15, 2008.[6] The proposal has gained support from BART and the local cycling organization.[6]
Despite opposition from the Pleasant Hill City Council, the BART Board of Directors recently approved the station name change from "Pleasant Hill" to "Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre" because of the station's proximity to the transit village. The Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency and AvalonBay Communities will cover the cost of changing the station signage as part of a planned $3 million upgrade.[7][8]
Several local area County Connection service bus lines stop at the station:
This is in addition to connecting service from neighboring areas with their own bus coverage including: Fairfield/Suisun Transit Route 40 from Solano County, Vallejo Transit Route 78 from Vallejo and Benicia, and WHEELS Express Route 70X from southeastern Alameda County.
