The Capital Area Multimodal Gateway in East Lansing, MI, recently opened by the Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA) marks the culmination of a regional partnership among the agency, the city and Michigan State University, along with funding support from FTA and Michigan DOT, according to CATA Chief Executive Officer/Executive Director Sandy Draggoo.

“This facility represents the shared regional vision and dedicated persistence of many. Together, this Gateway became a reality,” Draggoo said at grand opening ceremonies and a day-long open house for the multimodal facility.

In addition to CATA fixed-route and demand-response bus service, the regional hub provides connections to Amtrak, intercity bus and taxis. It offers increased parking, enhanced safety both inside and outside, separate boarding and deboarding areas for buses and trains, covered bicycle parking amenities, enhanced pedestrian walkways and a weatherproof waiting area for patrons open around the clock.

Funding for the project came from a $6.28 million FTA Bus and Bus Facilities Program Livability Initiative grant, along with a commitment from the university to lease the gateway property.
