Salinas station, also known as the Salinas Intermodal Transportation Center, is an intermodal transit center in downtown Salinas, California, United States. As a transit hub, the facility is a passenger rail station and bus station.
The station is a stop on the Coast Starlight from Los Angeles to Seattle, Washington.
Greyhound Lines moved its Salinas station to the property in 2015.[4]
The Transportation Agency for Monterey County's planned Monterey County Rail Extension would see expanded Caltrain commuter rail service from the station to the San Francisco Bay Area by 2025,[5] with long-term plans to extend Amtrak California's Capitol Corridor as well.[6] [7] [8] [9]
The station grounds were remodeled in 2021[10] to prepare for increased services; traffic circulation was improved by extending Lincoln Avenue to the station.[11] Monterey–Salinas Transit local bus service will move from the Salinas Transit Center a few blocks away to the expanded station.[12]
, Amtrak plans to modify the platform for accessibility by FY 2025.[13]
The depot, constructed in 1941 by the Southern Pacific Railroad,[14] exhibits a pared down Spanish Revival style as influenced by the then-popular Art Deco movement. Spanish Revival elements include the red tile roof and stuccoed walls, while the Art Deco influence is visible in the rectilinear composition and clean lines.[15]
