The station is expected to attract passengers from Oakley, Brentwood, and Discovery Bay, communities that were envisioned as part of the original eBART extension but could not be included due to cost.

[7][8][9] BART anticipated the station would serve 1,575 round trips per day based upon a supposed opening in 2015.

[12] Soon after opening, the agency began planning an additional 1,600 parking space facility north of the station site.

[16] A 2018 study recommended a footbridge to the south side of State Route 4, as well as improvements to bicycle and pedestrian access.

[17] As of 2024[update], BART indicates "significant market, local support, and/or implementation barriers" that must be overcome to allow transit-oriented development on the surface parking lots at the station.
