Cincinnati Metro Breaks Ground for Transit Center

Metro in Cincinnati broke ground July 18 for its new Glenway Crossing Transit Center and Park-and-Ride in Western Hills. When the transit center is completed this fall, it will serve as the major connection and transfer point for several west side bus routes.

The Glenway Crossing facility will offer four bus boarding areas, passenger shelters, approximately 70 park-and-ride spaces, and other improvements such as new sidewalks, landscaping, and signage.

“The beauty of the new transit center is that it will bring together west side service and allow safe, easy transfers among several Metro routes,” said Terry Garcia Crews, Metro chief executive officer and general manager. She noted that the station will serve two express services: the current Delhi Express to downtown and the Glenway Crossing-Uptown Express, which will enter service in August. “The Glenway Crossing-Uptown Express will be Metro's first express service to the University of Cincinnati, the hospital district, and thousands of jobs in Uptown,” she added.

The project received federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Surface Transportation Project, and Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality funds made available through Ohio DOT and the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments and matched by local funds.
