What is an intermodal terminal and why is METRO proposing to build it?

This terminal will serve as a major transportation hub for METRO Solutions Phase 2 program. It will enable residents, visitors and workers to easily transfer between different modes of transit including light rail, commuter rail and METRO buses. It would also house various services and amenities for patrons such as a METRO RideStore, restrooms, food service, newsstands, gift shops etc.

METRO intends to construct the facility in phases, commensurate with funding and environmental clearances. Phase I transportation services will include METRORail, and local bus service, along with shuttle vans and taxis.
