Installation work to begin September 20th for Next Generation Fare Gates at Antioch Station

Installation of Next Generation Fare Gates is scheduled to begin September 20th at Antioch Station. The installation process is expected to take up to two weeks to complete. This work comes after the successful installation of Next Generation Fare Gates at Civic Center, Fruitvale, Richmond, and West Oakland stations.

During construction, there will be a barrier around the existing station gate array. Riders will use two temporary accessible gates to enter and exit Antioch Station. Both gates will be placed in front of the Station Agent Booth and will route riders through the existing service gate. Additionally, carpet will be installed immediately before the entrance to each fare gate, to make these two gates easier to locate for riders with visual impairments. The removal of the old gates and installation of the prototypes will not impact train service.

All 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.
