Special advisory for blind and low-vision riders using Pittsburg Center Station

Pittsburg Center Station recently had new Next Generation Fare Gates installed at the station, which required a slight shift in the positioning of the faregates compared to their previous location. As a result, the tactile guideway for blind and low vision riders also needs to be shifted.

In the interim, when entering the station, blind and low vision passengers should follow the carpet just north of the tactile guideway to lead you through the new accessible faregate. When exiting the station, follow the yellow directional bar tile pathway until you come across a carpet, at which point you will follow the carpet to the right, which leads directly through the wider, accessible faregate to exit the station.

 The latest work comes after BART has successfully installed Next Generation Fare Gates at 22 other stations across the system. All 50 BART stations will have new fare gates by the end of 2025. You can learn more about BART’s Next Generation Fare Gate project here.
