摘要：	HOUSTON'S NORTHWEST TRANSIT CENTER IS PROOF THAT A MAJOR TRANSIT HUB can maintain operations while undergoing a complete renovation and become a modern model of mobility, accessibility and user experience. "The new Northwest Transit Center provides the best patron experience possible," said Bruce Krantz, vice president of construction for the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (Houston METRO). "This is our new gold standard for facilities." The 30-year-old transit hub serves as a key connection point for park-and-ride and local bus transfers from two of the region's largest corridors: Interstate 10 and U.S. 290. As ridership grew, Houston METRO saw a greater need to address parking and congestion issues to improve bus and car traffic flow patterns. The renovations addressed the bus queuing burdens at the 10 existing bus bays and increased patron parking space availability. The now-completed updates have added more bus bays and clearly delineated vehicle and bus traffic while adding improved connectivity, access, safety and security.
