Irvine Transportation Center[2] (also referred to as Irvine Station[3]) is a passenger rail and bus terminal in Irvine, California, United States. Located on the southwest end of the decommissioned Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, it is served by Amtrak California's Pacific Surfliner route, two Metrolink commuter rail lines, and multiple Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) bus routes. FlyAway Bus coach service to Los Angeles International Airport was formerly provided from the station.[4]

The $13 million Irvine Transportation Center opened on June 1, 1990 when Irvine was officially added to the Amtrak timetable as a stop on the route of the San Diegan (later renamed the Pacific Surfliner).[5] On 25 August 2008, a new four-story parking structure was opened to expand available parking at the station by 1,500 spots.[6]

The station has been mentioned as a possible location for the terminus of the Irvine leg of the California High-Speed Rail project.[7]

When Amtrak is doing track work on the San Diego Sub, this is the terminus for the line.

Rail ridership

Irvine served an average of approximately 1155 passengers daily in FY2015.[8]
