Gainesville breaks ground on RTS Eastside Transfer Station off Hawthorne Road

The City of Gainesville will hold a groundbreaking ceremony October 23 for a new Regional Transit System transfer station at 614 SE 20th St., with Mayor Harvey Ward and other officials scheduled to speak. The facility will include three covered canopies for six buses, a community room, and staff space, with completion expected in late 2027. The $5.5 million project — funded through two Federal Transit Administration grants — will become the city’s third bus transfer station and a key link between east and west Gainesville routes.
