Bus Loop Project!

The SJJPA, in coordination with Stanislaus County and Turlock Transit staff, have designed a dedicated bus loop to allow for a passenger drop-off and pick-up adjacent to the shelter, eliminating the potential for cross traffic between pedestrians and vehicles. Collaborative efforts for a bus loop design took place from April 2019 through December 2019. The construction of the bus loop has been recently completed and awaiting final approval for transit operation. The bus loop was constructed in the previous vacant, undeveloped area immediately north of the existing Turlock-Denair Station parking lot. The Turlock-Denair station consists of a concrete platform with a modest open-air shelter, benches, recently improved parking area, complete with lighting, security cameras and a limited amount of landscaping.

The Turlock-Denair station is an unstaffed Amtrak Station in Denair, California. Located at 3800 Santa Fe Avenue, the station also serves the nearby larger City of Turlock. The Gold Runner has served this community since 1987. For more Gold Runner Stations information please visit https://amtraksanjostg.wpengine.com/stations-schedules/.
