Pompano Beach is the last station not to be renovated to include better platform roofs, elevators and a pedestrian bridge over the tracks like most stations underwent. In 2011, Tri-Rail received a $5.7 million grant to redo the station as a green station, collecting more than 100% of it's energy demand through solar power, with the excess to be put on the grid.
