The station was opened on June 15, 2012, and is operated by the Sacramento Regional Transit District.

Greyhound Lines's Sacramento bus depot is near the station, at 420 Richards Boulevard.

It is located along Richards Boulevard at North 7th Street in the River District, north of Downtown Sacramento. Its opening coincided with the completion of a 1.1-mile (1.8 km) extension of track at a cost of $44 million as the first new station constructed as part of the Green Line.
