Community Center
The Wilmington Multimodal Transportation Center/Downtown Transfer Station Now Open Effective Saturday, January 18, 2020
Several years in the making, the first phase of the Wilmington Multimodal Transportation Center, the Authority’s Downtown Transfer Station, opened its doors on Saturday, January 18, 2020. The facility is a significant upgrade to the former on-street, Downtown Transfer Center located on 2nd St. and Princess St. The new station provides customers with safer and more comfortable accommodations. Route modifications were implemented in conjunction with the opening of the revised station. Click HERE or on the image below for details regarding these changes.
The new facility is an adaptive reuse project of the historic Neuwirth Brothers Building, a Volkswagen garage built in the 1920s, that remained vacant for several years. The integrity of the building was preserved, and we are pleased to offer a revitalized, functional facility to our customers and the greater community.
