Tennessee’s largest transit operator, Memphis Area Transit Authority (MATA), received a $1,381,355 grant for construction of the South Intermodal Terminal. The terminal will serve as a transfer center for MATA’s buses and the local operations center for Greyhound.
Upon completion, scheduled for early 2010, the 29,000 square foot facility will have capacity for 34 bus bays shared by Greyhound and MATA, temporary bus parking and storage with maintenance and fueling areas. The center will also include office space, meeting rooms, a customer service and waiting area, and restaurants.
The funds announced today are part of FTA’s capital investment program that provides financial assistance for transit agencies to purchase new vehicles and construct new facilities.
