RTS Cuts Ribbon on Wyoming County Transportation Center

The Regional Transit Service (RTS), Rochester, NY, has completed construction of its new transportation center in Wyoming County. The 20,000-square-foot facility includes covered parking for up to 18 buses, a vehicle wash bay with an automated drive-through bus wash system, roof-mounted solar panels, administrative office space, a break room that doubles as a training room, and an EV charging station for public use.

“This is an exciting day for RTS and the team in Wyoming County,” said CEO Miguel Velázquez. “This new facility will give our team the support they need to continue providing safe, reliable, convenient, and sustainable transportation to the people of Wyoming County. On behalf of the entire team at RTS, I thank our congressional delegation, Governor Hochul, the New York State Department of Transportation, our New York State Legislators, the board of supervisors, and entire team from Wyoming County, The RGRTA Board of Commissioners, business partners, our construction team, and the RTS Wyoming Team for making this project possible.”

The Wyoming County Transportation Center took 16 months to build and cost $11 million.

“This state-of-the art facility is a major boost for the 40,000 Wyoming County residents who use RTS for everything from getting to work or a doctor appointment, to doing their shopping, or visiting friends and family,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). “I’m glad to have helped secure the federal rural transit funding that delivered over $8 million to build this new facility. It will not only ensure reliable public transportation, which is a lifeline for rural communities, but will support RTS’s hardworking 21-employee Wyoming County workforce who last year alone provided 42,158 rides for local residents.”
