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.
Services
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.[7]
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,[8] with long-term plans to extend Amtrak California's Capitol Corridor as well.[9][10][11][12]
The station grounds were remodeled in 2021[13] to prepare for increased services; traffic circulation was improved by extending Lincoln Avenue to the station.[14] Monterey–Salinas Transit local bus service will move from the Salinas Transit Center a few blocks away to the expanded station.[15]
As of 2024[update], Amtrak plans to modify the platform for accessibility by FY 2025.[16]
Design
The depot, constructed in 1941 by the Southern Pacific Railroad,[17] 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.[18]
