Santa Barbara station (PAAC)

Santa Barbara was a station on the Port Authority of Allegheny County's light rail network, located in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. The street level stop was designed as a small commuter stop, serving area residents who walked to the train so they could be taken toward Downtown Pittsburgh. Both directional stops were only accessible via walkways near the intersection of Milford Drive and Wyncote Road and beyond the dead end of South Conestoga Drive.
