Transit Center

The Rider Transit Center has been designed to meet LEED Certified Gold requirements. It is another terrific example of the continued commitment of Concord and Kannapolis to both protect our environment through energy and water conservation measures while improving the quality of life for both residents and visitors to our communities.

One of the environmentally sensitive features of the project include a “green” vegetative roof that aids in stormwater management, energy conservation, and increased lifespan of the roof surface and underlying structure. Others include a rain garden, water efficient landscaping, the use of low impact, rapidly renewable resources such as cork and rubber, recycled, low-emitting, regional, natural products, high efficiency machinery, occupancy sensors and extensive use of natural light throughout.

Operational features of the Rider Transit Center include 10 covered bus bays, customer seating, on site customer service agent, employee break room, conference room, expansion space for Rider staff and restrooms. The total cost of the project is $2.8 million. 80% of funding for the project was provided through a grant from the Federal Transit Administration, with an additional 10% coming from the State of North Carolina.
