A covered platform with twelve bus spaces, a 3500 square foot terminal with a waiting room and offices, four parking decks above the transit facility accomodating 600 cars, and pedestrian connections to Rutland’s downtown shopping streets were all part of this project's program. This building was completed in the spring of 1999.
