Cal State LA station (officially Cal State Los Angeles station)[2] is a commuter rail and busway station located on the El Monte Busway. The station is located between Interstate 10 and its namesake, the campus of California State University, Los Angeles. It is located in the El Sereno neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles and Eastside region, in southern California. The busway portion of the station opened on February 18, 1975,[3] and the Metrolink platform was added on October 26, 1994.[4]
Just west of this station, the westbound busway lanes cross over the eastbound lanes, reversing the normal placement of the lanes. They remain reversed until the western terminus of the El Monte Busway at Union Station. The reversed lanes allow buses to serve by a single island platform station at the Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center but prevent vehicles from entering the busway from the general-purpose lanes of Interstate 10 in the eastbound direction.[5]
Just east of this station, the busway and train tracks move off the separate right of way and move into the median of Interstate 10.[6]
