Third Street Station is now open!

After years of planning and construction, Third Street Station is open and operating. This modern facility marks a significant milestone in the transformation of transit in the Roanoke Valley. Like its predecessor at Campbell Court, the new transit center remains the central transfer hub of Valley Metro; however, Third Street Station leaves behind the facility that the system had outgrown.

The open-air facility allows for fresh air and additional lighting, a better fit for modern, longer buses, more service flexibility in the future, and the possibility of electric-charging equipment. Public information screens and automated bus pass machines will streamline the rider's experience. With easy access to downtown Roanoke, the Roanoke Amtrak platform, the NRV via Smart Way and beyond with Greyhound, Third Street Station will be a gateway to the Roanoke Valley for decades. There are many partners that have made this step forward possible. We are grateful for the hard work of Spectrum Design, MB Contractors, 5 Points Creative, the City of Roanoke, and, of course, the support of Valley Metro's riders. Here's to many more successful decades of transit in the Roanoke Valley!
