Tamiami Station Park and Ride/Bus Terminal to open for service

On Monday, November 21, 2022, at 11 a.m., Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) will commemorate a ribbon cutting ceremony for the opening of the all-new Tamiami Station Park and Ride/Bus Terminal.

This modern transit hub will become a new and quicker connection for commuters from West Dade, beginning on Monday, November 28, 2022. The facility will provide service for the new 837 Express bus route, which will run from the station to Downtown Miami via SR 836/Dolphin Expressway. 

The 837 Express buses will travel on the designated bus-only lanes to by-pass traffic congestion on the Dolphin Expressway during peak service hours, Monday through Friday, providing a more efficient, low-stress alternative to driving while improving mobility and convenience.

The station won the Envision® Silver Award from the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI), marking the first time Miami-Dade County is honored by the ISI for the county’s work in sustainable performance and infrastructure resiliency.

The Tamiami Station Park and Ride/Bus Terminal project is a segment of Phase 1 of the East-West Corridor, one of the rapid transit corridors of the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Program. This segment was developed prior to the adoption of the SMART Program as part of an incremental approach to implement rapid transit service on the East-West Corridor of the People’s Transportation Plan (PTP).

Once fully functional, the Tamiami Station will offer many amenities including free Wi-Fi, ticket vending machines, seven bus bays, bus layover areas, and a bus driver lounge. Additionally, the station has 458 regular and short-term parking spaces, electric vehicle charging stations, baby stroller or ADA permit parking, car and vanpool spaces, motorcycle and scooter parking, and secured bicycle storage.
