Pittsburg Center,[1] also referred to as Railroad Avenue or simply Pittsburg, is a future Bay Area Rapid Transit station on the planned eBART to be located at Highway 4 and Railroad Avenue in Pittsburg, California. It is planned to be constructed as an infill station between Pittsburg/Bay Point station and the initial eBART terminus at Antioch station.[2] The station will serve the downtown area of Pittsburg in addition to this bedroom community's residents commuting to job centers in San Francisco and other areas.[2] Funding for the station was secured in early 2015; construction broke ground on July 27, 2015,[3] with an expected opening date with the rest of the eBART line in 2018.[4]

Bus service will be provided by Tri-Delta Transit.
