East Salem Transit Center

We're planning for a new transit hub in east Salem!

What is the project?

This project aims to construct a new transit center somewhere in east Salem to better serve the community.

Where is the project at currently?

The first step in this multi-year process will be to conduct preliminary engineering for the new transit center that will inform which land parcels could be potential fits in east Salem. Once some initial parameters are established during preliminary engineering, a site selection analysis occur to identify the best location for the new transit center in east Salem. 

Preliminary engineering and site selection contracts were awarded at the December 2025 Cherriots Board of Directors meeting.

What are the next steps?

Preliminary engineering and site selection activities will start in January 2026 and continue for approximately one year.
