Westminster station operates as a Regional Transportation District (RTD) commuter rail stop on the B Line within Westminster, Colorado, situated in the Denver metropolitan area. Since its inauguration on July 25, 2016, it functions as the temporary northern endpoint of the B Line until future expansions reach Boulder and Longmont. The B Line provides service southbound to Union Station in Denver, with a travel time of approximately 11 minutes.
This station is equipped with one platform positioned on the northern side, while the rail tracks lie to the south. It offers a 350-space park and ride facility that can be expanded up to 1,000 parking spots, along with a public plaza, both situated north of the railway lines. A pedestrian bridge spans over the tracks and Little Dry Creek, linking the station to a nearby residential area in Adams County. Beneath this bridge, an underpass features an art piece entitled "Grotto," created by Brian W. Brush, consisting of LED-illuminated high-density polyethylene tubes.
The City of Westminster is focused on encouraging transit-oriented development throughout the vicinity surrounding the station, which includes proposals for a park and open green space located to the south of the facility.
