The Spring Valley station (sometimes referred as the Spring Valley Transit Center) is an intermodal transit station in Spring Valley, New York. It serves Metro-North Railroad and NJ Transit trains as well as buses as the Spring Valley Bus Terminal. The buses that serve the Spring Valley Bus Terminal are Rockland Coaches (provided by Coach USA) and Transport of Rockland. It is located at Main Street (Route 45), 0.125 miles (0.201 km) from Route 59.

This line runs north-south to Hoboken Terminal with connections via the Secaucus Junction transfer station to New Jersey Transit one-stop service to New York Penn Station and to other NJ Transit rail service. Connections are available at the Hoboken Terminal to other New Jersey Transit rail lines, the PATH train at the Hoboken PATH station, New York Waterways ferry service to the World Financial Center and other destinations and Hudson-Bergen Light Rail service.

The station has one track and one low-level side platform.

During construction of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad, residents of what would later become Spring Valley demanded a station at the site of a farm road crossing. The residents felt that Eleazar Lord had chosen to give preference to the area at Monsey (formerly Kakiat) because he owned 8.5 acres (3.4 ha) in the area. They wanted access to shipping via the railroad, but the railroad would not promise service, even if the farmers built their own waiting shanty.
