The Irvine Transportation Center[4] (shortened to Irvine Transit Center and also known as Irvine station[5]) is a transit center in the Irvine Spectrum district of southeastern 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 (OC Bus) bus routes.
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).[6][7] On August 25, 2008, a new four-story parking structure was opened to expand available parking at the station by 1,500 spots.[8]
