Located in a railroad cut, a staircase to each platform is available from Highland Road, which crosses over the line on an overpass. In addition, access to the outbound platform is available through a walkway which leads to Santa Fe Drive. There is no crossing for passengers between the platforms at platform level.
In May 2024, the Federal Transit Administration awarded Pittsburgh Regional Transit $8 million to construct accessible platforms at ten Red Line stops, including Highland.[3][4]
