StarMetro's Southside Transit Center will be the first public transit center built in our community since C.K. Steele Plaza in the 1980s. Today, land regulation, urban planning, transit development and local, state, and federal building and permitting requirements are much more advanced.
This creates a robust process where the many stages and levels of due diligence and compliance required to build a project of this nature gives all stakeholders, especially community members, an opportunity to evaluate decisions and provide input at many steps along the way to breaking ground.
Building a new transit center from the ground up will be a multi-year coordinated effort led by StarMetro/City of Tallahassee and under the purview of the Florida Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration.
The community engagement and design portion of this project, broken into phases, is part of the exciting, multi-faceted process of creating more equitable transportation options for the southside of Tallahassee.
Join us in helping shape the future of transportation in Tallahassee and the opportunities a transit center can provide for the southside.
