Community leaders help celebrate grand opening today!
Better connections to jobs, shopping and entertainment; enhanced customer amenities; and a new park and ride were all things to celebrate during the grand opening of Metro’s new Oakley Transit Center today.
The Oakley area is a major job base for the region, representing approximately 7,100 jobs at various retailers.
The project was designed by the Transportation Planning and Urban Design section of the City of Cincinnati’s Department of Transportation and Engineering and constructed by Ford Development Corporation.
The center was created in partnership with the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority, the Ohio Department of Transportation, OKI regional Council of Governments, the City of Cincinnati and the Federal Transit Administration.
Metro secured $1.2 million for the construction of the Oakley Transit Center with a Federal Surface Transportation Program grant and local funds.
