UMSL–South station is a light rail station on the Red Line of the St. Louis MetroLink system.[3] This at-grade station is located near East Drive and features 130 park and ride spaces.[4]

In 2023, the United States Department of Agriculture announced it would build a $115 million food safety laboratory next to the station on the site of the former Immaculate Heart Convent. It is expected to open in 2025.[5]

Public artwork[edit]

In 2014, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work Changing Identities by Catharine Magel for this station. Changing Identities honors four individuals killed in a bus crash and reflects on the spiritual and eternal aspects of human nature, our connection to the universe, and our solitary journeys through life.[6]
