Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (its official name) is a passenger rail station and transportation center in Santa Ana, California. It is used by Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner and Metrolink's Orange County Line and Inland Empire-Orange County Line trains. It is also a Greyhound station and a hub for the Orange County Transportation Authority bus system as well as a terminal for several Mexican bus tour companies.
When the station opened on September 7, 1985 it was the largest new rail station built in the United States since the completion of the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal circa 1955. The center was erected on the site of a former Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway combination depot that had been constructed in 1939 and closed in 1982.[2]
The last scene in the movie Rain Man, starring Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise, was filmed at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center.[3]
In FY2010 Santa Ana was the 22nd-busiest of Amtrak's 73 California stations, boarding or detraining an average of about 420 passengers daily.[4]

The Orange County Transportation Authority, in conjunction with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the Southern California Association of Governments, hopes to build a new transit line west from the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center, then northwest along the West Santa Ana Branch across the county line to the intersection of the Metro Blue Line and the Metro Green Line, then possibly north to Los Angeles Union Station. Possible modes being studied include bus rapid transit, light rail, and high-speed rail.
