History

It is located alongside East Park Avenue at its intersection with North University Street on the southwest corner of the University of Redlands campus. Station construction was largely completed in 2021,[7] and opened for revenue service with the system on October 24, 2022.[8] The station has 100 park and ride spaces available for customers.[9]

East of the station, the rail right of way continues as a multi-use recreation path called the Orange Blossom Trail.[10] As of 2017, the University was planning to construct a transit village at the site via a public–private partnership.[11]
