Madera station is a proposed train station to serve Madera, California. It would be located near the intersection of Avenue 12 and Santa Fe Drive.
The Madera Amtrak station opened in 2010 as a replacement for the hundred-year old Storey station. The 2016 California High-Speed Rail Business Plan proposed a relocated Madera station in order to provide strong transit connectivity, potential for transit oriented development, good access to State Route 99 and the City of Madera, and connections between that system and Amtrak San Joaquins services.[1] The station is being built by the San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority (instead of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, as is the case for other initial operating stations).[2] Funding for the station was provided as part of the Valley Rail project in 2018.[3] Work on station relocation is ongoing as of November 2019[update], as the San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority has entered into negotiations with CAHSR, Madera County, and the city of Madera.[4] As of 2024[update], the new station is expected to open in 2025.[2][5] San Joaquins are expected to cease services here once high-speed operations begin.[6] The Joint Powers Authority would receive a further $54-million federal grant via the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in 2024.[2]

To most efficiently integrate the San Joaquins and the interim HSR services, Merced will become the southern terminus for San Joaquins rail service once operations begin on the HSR infrastructure at the end of 2030.
