Salinas Intermodal Transportation Center

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 but no longer serves the city as of 2026. After years of delays, 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 2028, with long-term plans to extend Amtrak California's Capitol Corridor as well. The station grounds were remodeled in 2021 to prepare for increased services; traffic circulation was improved by extending Lincoln Avenue to the station. Monterey–Salinas Transit local bus service will move from the Salinas Transit Center a few blocks away to the expanded station. , Amtrak plans to modify the platform for accessibility by FY 2025. ==Design==

The depot, constructed in 1941 by the Southern Pacific Railroad, 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.
