Saint-Jérôme is an intermodal bus and commuter train station in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec, Canada. It serves bus routes operated by the CIT Laurentides, a suburban transit agency, and by two intercity bus companies. In addition to loading areas for buses, it includes a train platform which will be used by commuter trains of the Blainville Line of the Agence métropolitaine de transport, or AMT (in English, the "Metropolitan transportation agency"), the umbrella organization that plans, integrates, and coordinates public transportation services in the Greater Montreal, Quebec, Canada area. Commuter trains to Montreal will begin to serve the station on Monday January 8, 2007, with four trains in each direction each business day.^[1]

The station is built primarily of wood. The building's draws its inspiration from the former Canadian Pacific Railway station in Saint-Jérôme and from industrial architecture of the 1900s. ^[2]

The former Canadian Pacific Railway station in Saint-Jérôme at 301 Sainte-Anne Street still exists and was designated in 1994 as a heritage raiilway station by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada^[3], but is not used as for transportation purposes.
