Palmetto station functions as a Metrorail rapid transit stop situated in an unincorporated region of Miami-Dade County, Florida, bearing a Miami postal address and positioned close to the municipality of Medley. It operates as the northernmost terminus within the Metrorail network. The station is located near the intersection of Northwest 77th Street and 79 Avenue and commenced operations on May 30, 2003. Adjacent to the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826), it provides convenient access for commuters traveling from western Miami-Dade and neighboring Broward to reach Downtown Miami. Set in a predominantly low-density industrial warehouse district, the station experiences comparatively modest passenger volumes. In 2023, plans were introduced for a residential project comprising 900 units at this location, intended to increase transit ridership and stimulate regional development.
