Document Description
The Pajaro-Watsonville Multimodal Station is designed to be a major transit hub serving Monterey and Santa Cruz County residents, providing access to multiple transportation modes. The station would serve as a key component of the Transportation Agency for Monterey County's larger Monterey County Rail Extension project, which aims to extend passenger rail service from Gilroy to Salinas to provide viable alternative transportation options for commuters, visitors, and residents traveling from Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito Counties to the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. At the start of service, the station would be served by Caltrain, Amtrak Coast Starlight, Monterey-Salinas Transit, and Santa Cruz Metro. The proposed station would be constructed within Union Pacific right-of-way at the Watsonville Junction and would include a passenger rail loading platform; platform shelters, lighting, landscaping, furniture and fixtures, ticket vending machines, and information displays; bus, shuttle, and van loading and unloading berths; bicycle and pedestrian facilities; bicycle and pedestrian access to the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail and Coastal Rail Trail; parking; and a new signalized intersection at Salinas Road and Lewis Road.
