PRESS RELEASE
Title:  City of Moscow to Hold Open House on Intermodal Transit Center Project

January 31, 2011 - The City of Moscow will be hosting a public open-house session regarding the proposed Intermodal Transit Center on Monday, February 7th from 4:30-6:30 PM in Council Chambers of City Hall, located at 206 E. Third Street.

In October of 2010, the City of Moscow was awarded a $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to construct an Intermodal Transit Center (ITC). The open-house session will include project information stations that will describe the proposed facility, siting criteria and the locations currently under consideration and provide opportunity for public comment.

Total project costs for ITC are estimated at $2.8 million and this fully-funded $1.5 million request was critical to build a transit center to accommodate public and private modes of transportation for the region's transportation operators. Preliminary plans for the ITC include a transit facility featuring exterior covered structures with a foot passenger loading zone and secure parking for buses, vehicles, and bicycles. The proposed facility provides vehicle and bus stalls to link services provided by City's public transit provider, Moscow Valley Transit, the University of Idaho's Vandal Shuttle and intercity bus service from Northwestern Trailways and Wheatland Express. The facility will also provide access for taxis, vanpools and carpools, and will expand pedestrian and bicyclist accessibility and feature a link to Paradise Path. The components of the ITC have been designed to provide a seamless, one-stop concept for public and private transportation in the community.
