Effective May 16, 2024 - July 27, 2025

Attention Gold Runner Passengers

Due to on-going construction, customers should anticipate delays.

Passengers driving to the station will encounter multiple detours from SR 99 by using Ave 17 (EB), then Lake St/Rd 27 (NB), and Club Dr (WB) to access the station via Rd 26 (detour signage is available along this route).
Passengers are encouraged to allow an additional 30 minutes to arrive at the station before trains or connecting services depart.
