The new Sturtevant station is located in the Renaissance Business Park, about a mile north of the old Sturtevant Depot. There is a large indoor waiting area, restrooms, and vending machines available.

The southbound (station-side) track departs to Chicago. The northbound (bridge-side) track departs to Milwaukee. An announcement on the station's radio system confirms the inbound or outbound train.
