Project Description:
Serving as a catalyst for coordinated regional mass transit in Southeastern Michigan, this new facility is located on three acres within the City of Troy bordering Birmingham. The 2,000 square foot facility includes service for multimodal accommodations such as passenger rail, regional and inner-city bus systems, shuttle, taxi and limousine service.
Scope of work also includes construction of a pedestrian bridge and over 200’ of new platforms. The Transit Facility will strengthen the existing transit options in the area through a centralized facility that will allow users to access intercity rail service, regional bus routes and other modes such as air and taxi services. The Transit Facility is included as a hub in the Detroit Regional Mass Transit plan (DRMT).
