The San Joaquin Street station is one of two train stations in Stockton. San Joaquin trains running between Sacramento and Bakersfield, as well as Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) trains do not pass this station and instead use the Robert J. Cabral Station closer to downtown.

Two Amtrak Thruway bus routes serve this station. Route 3 connects passengers to the other station in Stockton, Sacramento, Chico and Redding. Route 6 connects with San Jose.[4]
