Location

Marin Civic Center station is a Sonoma–Marin Area Rail Transit station in San Rafael, California, located adjacent to the Marin County Civic Center.

History edit

BART proposed a train station near the current location as part of the Marin Line in a report sent to the approving counties in 1961.^[4] Marin's exit from the Bay Area Rapid Transit District halted these plans.

The current station opened to preview service on June 29, 2017; full commuter service commenced on August 25, 2017.^[3]^[5]
