On Thursday, July 18, BART will begin replacing the existing fare gates on the concourse level of Civic Center Station with new Next Generation Fare Gates.

The work at Civic Center will happen at the array, or set of gates, closest to Seventh Street entrance on the north end of the concourse level of the station (Array 1 in the map). A temporary barrier will be installed to provide a safe workspace for the installation team as well as to protect riders from construction. Installing this new array is expected to take several weeks to complete. The station’s other two fare gate arrays (Array 2 and Array3) will remain open during the installation work. 

Once the new array is installed, BART will move forward with replacing all remaining old fare gates at Civic Center Station, one array at a time.  In April, crews successfully installed a new fare gate at the elevator entrance on the Civic Center Station platform.

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.

Installation of Next Generation Fare Gates is scheduled to begin March 14 at San Leandro Station. The installation process is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete.

During construction, there will be a barrier around the existing station gates.  Riders will use two temporary accessible gates to enter and exit San Leandro Station.  Both gates are located next to the Station Agent Booth. When facing the booth from the non-paid area of the station, the fare gate to your right is used to enter the station and the fare gate to your left is used to exit. Additionally, a carpet will be installed immediately before the entrance to each temporary gate to make the gates easier to locate for riders with visual impairments. 

The work will not impact train service, but riders may experience a few extra minutes wait to pass through the fare gates during peak travel hours.

The latest work comes after BART has successfully installed Next Generation Fare Gates at 20 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.
