North Concord/Martinez is a Bay Area Rapid Transit station that serves the cities of Concord and Martinez, California. The station itself is in the northern part of Concord. Despite its location on the most heavily used line (the Bay Point Line) of BART, it is the least utilized station in the system.[3]

The North Concord/Martinez station was opened on December 16, 1995 and briefly functioned as a terminal station until 1996, when the extension over Willow Pass was completed. The present terminal is Pittsburg/Bay Point.

This station is in BART District 1 and is represented by Gail Murray who is also current BART President.[4]

North Concord station features numerous crossover tracks after the station. Some of these tracks allow for "North Concord" rush-hour trains, and also allow BART to store standby trains or out-of-service trains that need a temporary resting spot. There is also a small loop that can be used for storing a few trains.
