Kālia station (also known as Ala Moana Center station) is a planned Skyline station in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. It will be located near the Ala Moana Center, a major shopping mall and the location of the city's largest bus transit center. The station was included in the original plan for Skyline but had to be eliminated from the initial phases of construction due to a severe funding shortfall. Despite the deferral of construction of this station, the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation says it remains committed to completing this station in a subsequent phase of the project. It will soon be completed in 2033. ^[1]

The Hawaiian Station Name Working Group proposed Hawaiian names for the twelve rail stations on the eastern end of the rail system (stations in the Airport and City Center segments) in April 2019.^[2]^[3] The name of this station, Kālia, means "waited for" and refers to an ʻili near the Waikīkī coast used for salt production and fishponds.^[4]
