The $3.2 million indoor facility serves 225,000 riders annually, offers climate controlled waiting, restrooms, an electronic schedule board, and vending.

A public driver who saved a visually impaired passenger is praised. Construction by Swope Construction and attendance by local and federal officials accompany the dedication. The road to the transfer station is dedicated to William Robinson.
