Peoria, also known as Peoria/Smith, is a Regional Transportation District (RTD) station in Aurora, Colorado. The station is served by the A Line, a commuter rail line from Union Station in Downtown Denver to Denver International Airport, and will be the northern terminus of the R Line, a light rail line crossing through Aurora. Peoria and Union Station are the two locations where RTD commuter rail and light rail meet, and Peoria is the only station facilitating a cross-platform transfer between the two systems. Travel times from the station to Downtown Denver and Denver International Airport are about 17 and 20 minutes, respectively.

Peoria station is also served by several TheRide bus routes and has a 550-space park-and-ride lot.[1]

The A Line began service at Peoria station on April 22, 2016.[2] The R Line is scheduled to begin service in late 2016.[3]
