Rock Road station is a light rail station on the Red Line of the St. Louis MetroLink system.[5] This at-grade station primarily serves commuters with a large MetroBus transfer and 191 park and ride spaces located in Pagedale, Missouri. The station's name comes from nearby St. Charles Rock Road, an important east–west artery in St. Louis County.
In 2023, Great Rivers Greenway completed a .83-mile (1.3 km) extension to the St. Vincent Greenway between this station and St. Vincent County Park. The greenway parallels St. Charles Rock Road and was built in conjunction with improvements to that corridor by the Missouri Department of Transportation.[6]
In April 2024, Metro announced a platform improvement project at Rock Road. Both platforms are due to be repaired and resurfaced with the work lasting about four weeks.[7]
The eastbound platform is accessed via stairs and a ramp from the bus boarding area. The westbound platform is accessed via a ramp after crossing both tracks.

In 2010, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work Honey, Where’s my Metro Pass? by Nick Lang and Thad Duhigg for this station. Some of Lang's students visited the Rock Road location and noted the common objects used by commuters. After documenting these visits, the students created maquettes that laid the groundwork for the sculpture. The artists expanded on the students’ ideas and fabricated this sculpture, which depicts the contents of an average Metro rider’s pockets at a very large scale.[8]
