The METRO light rail stations have been designed to enhance the passenger experience by maximizing shade, safety and ease of use. The stations were also designed to complement their immediate surroundings and the neighboring community.

The station platform area will be approximately 16 feet wide by 300 feet long for passengers boarding or exiting trains in either direction. Stations will be located in the center of the street, and passengers can access the stations from a lighted intersection. The station entry area will have ticket vending machines. Stations will also have shade canopies, louvered panels to provide additional shade, seating, route maps, timetables, drinking fountains, public telephones, garbage containers and landscaping. They will also be well lit to enhance passenger security. All stations will be designed for accessibility in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Art will also be featured at the stations and in the light rail bridge over the Tempe Town Lake. The project will feature artwork from both local and national artists in a variety of mediums. Station artwork can be stand-alone or integrated into the station design and must meet strict requirements for maintenance, longevity, the Americans with Disabilities Act, security and other criteria.
