West Dublin BART
The West Dublin Bay Area Rapid Transit
(BART) station opened in February 2011 after a nearly 15-year
effort to fund and construct the station. The station is in
suburban Alameda County, on the border between the towns of
Dublin and Pleasanton. The West Dublin station was completed as
an “infill” station between the Dublin/Pleasanton and Castro
Valley stations, a ten-mile stretch of the BART line with no
stops. The construction of the West Dublin Station provides a
unique example of using joint development as a value capture
strategy to fund the construction of a rail station and the
provision of TOD infrastructure.
