The Rosa Parks Transit Center opened back in July of 2009. The Center provides a state-of-the-art transit area for bus riders and is a key component in the revitalization of downtown Detroit. Funded through state and federal grants, the $22.5 million project is adjacent to two People Mover stations to the north and south. The Transit Center has become the new central terminal for the Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) and features a 25,700 square foot building with retail space, indoor passenger waiting areas (with real-time arrival and departure information), and a cashier area all with round-the-clock security.
