Nepean Woods station is located in the Ottawa, Ontario, Canada suburb of Barrhaven, and is on the Southwest Transitway which is served by OC Transpo buses.[2] Located near the intersection of Woodroffe Avenue and Strandherd Drive in southern Nepean, it was the westerly terminus of most trips of rapid-transit route 74, formerly numbered route 94. It is also the site of a park and ride lot for residents of Barrhaven, which opened on 24 February 2014.[3]

In July 19, 2014, selected trips on route 74 (then 94) were extended to/from Riverview Station via the then-newly opened Vimy Memorial Bridge. Route 99 has selected trips extended via the bridge and Nepean Woods Station to/from Barrhaven Centre Station.[4] On June 20, 2021, Route 74 changed its routing to again terminate at Nepean Woods.[5] In the fall of 2023, Route 74 changed its routing, extending it to Riverview Station once again.[6] When Line 2 service reopens, Route 74 will have its routing extended to Limebank station.
