New TARC Network Downtown Transfer Center

The New TARC Network will feature a new, temporary Downtown Transfer Center at the corner of Muhammad Ali Boulevard and 8th Street with on-street bus bays, shelters, and customer wayfinding information. The purpose of the Downtown Transfer Center is to provide a central location where all of the different buses serving downtown can come together in a scheduled “pulse” that will allow passengers to transfer between routes in 5-10 minutes.  By providing a comfortable, convenient Downtown Transfer Center with timed transfers, TARC customers will be able to travel across the Louisville region, even with routes that only run every 30-60 minutes.

TARC is currently conducting a study to identify potential sites for a permanent Downtown Transit Center.  More information about this project will be provided as soon as it becomes available.
