Oakridge is a disused light rail station on the VTA light rail system. This station was formerly served by VTA's Ohlone/Chynoweth–Almaden line, popularly known as the Almaden Shuttle. The station had one platform, and was only accessed by the street. There was no parking available at the station.
Oakridge station is located across Winfield Boulevard from Westfield Oakridge Mall in southern San Jose, California.
This station is on the former right-of-way of the Southern Pacific Railroad's "Lick Branch," where there was also a track for loading building materials into freight cars. The rail line was abandoned in 1981. The station was closed on December 27, 2019, when the light rail was replaced by a bus service.
