Commute-hour timed-transfer buses connect commuters from as far north as Cloverdale station twice a day in each direction on Sonoma County Transit Line 56.[6] Line 55 offers timed transfers connecting the train to the Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport and to the town of Windsor eight times daily.[7]
The station was closed between October 28 and 31, 2019[8] due to the loss of power at railway crossings as a result of the 2019 California power shutoffs.[9][10]
