The BART Board approved the name "Orinda" in December 1965.[4] Service at the station began on May 21, 1973, following the completion of theBerkeley Hills Tunnel, which connects it toRockridge station.[5]AC Transit began operating local bus service under contract in central Contra Costa County in the 1970s after the coming of BART. Service began inMoraga and Orinda on September 13, 1976.[6] The service was transferred toCounty Connection on June 7, 1982.[7]
In 2008, BART added solar panels over parking areas at Orinda station, as well as the Richmond and Hayward maintenance yards. The $3.8 million project was expected to provide all station electrical needs during daylight hours.[8]
Thirteen BART stations, including Orinda, did not originally have faregates for passengers using the elevator. In 2020, BART started a project to add faregates to elevators at these stations. Orinda was the last station to be modified; the new faregate in the lobby was installed in July 2023.[9]
BART operates and maintains the surface parking lots at the station, but does not own them. As of 2024[update], BART indicates "significant market, local support, and/or implementation barriers" that must be overcome to allowtransit-oriented development on the parking lots. Such development would not begin until at least the mid-2030s.[10]
