Grossmont Transit Center opened as part of the third segment of the East Line (now Orange Line) on June 23, 1989, which operated from 12th & Imperial Transit Center to El Cajon Transit Center.[4] Green Line service began in July 1995, when the segment connecting to Mission San Diego first opened.[4]

An improvement project broke ground on February 17, 2010 to add elevators and a pedestrian bridge to the station, which was completed and began operation on November 19, 2011.[5][6]
