Operations

Transfer Station

The Downtown Transfer Station at 200 Wheeler Avenue serves as the primary transfer point for the system. The $750,000 facility was designed by Guest Reddick Architects and broke ground in March 2009. Opening on December 30, 2009, the transfer station provided an immediate improvement for passengers with a 1,200 square foot indoor waiting area, benches, restrooms, and vending machines. On November 28, 2022, a canopy was opened to allow passengers to avoid inclement weather while boarding the bus. Simultaneously, the city introduced six new 35 and 40 foot CNG buses with more seating and USB charging ports to provide better service.
