[1] The site for the rail station is bounded by Cohasset Street to the north, Winona Avenue on the south, and Hollywood Way along the eastern end of the airport property.

The station will be mostly underground, but an above-grade building will tie it into the relocated airport terminal complex.

[2] Plans call for the approach tunnels and station box to be mostly built using the cut and cover method — except for those portions under active taxiway D and active runway 8-26, which will be constructed using the Sequential Extraction Method (SEM) to avoid ground subsidence.

The airport authority runs an "on demand" shuttle between the present terminal and this Metrolink station, which is just northeast of the airport, or passengers can take the Metro 294 bus free with a Metrolink ticket.

There is a joint Metrolink/Amtrak station just to the south of the airport — known on the Metrolink Ventura County Line as Burbank Airport–South and as Hollywood Burbank Airport to Amtrak riders on their Pacific Surfliner.
