Palomar Street Transit Center is a station on the Blue Line of the San Diego Trolley located in the city of Chula Vista, California. The stop serves a variety of purposes, holding the function of commuter center with a park and ride lot and providing access to the nearby commercial, industrial, and residential areas, as well as Southwestern Community College.

History

This station was renovated, starting March 2014,[8] as part of the Trolley Renewal Project;[9] it reopened with a renovated station platform in November 2014.[7][10]
