History

By August 1965, BART proposed to call the station "Claremont", while a city committee had rejected "College–Shafter" and "Temescal".[3] A BART committee proposed "Rockridge" in October 1965; it was accepted by the BART Board that December.[4][5] Service at Rockridge commenced on May 21, 1973, after the construction of the Berkeley Hills Tunnel was completed.[6]

Thirteen BART stations, including Rockridge, did not originally have faregates for passengers using the elevator. In 2020, BART started a project to add faregates to elevators at these stations. The new faregate on the platform at Rockridge was installed in July 2022.[7]
