🗺️🚍 #MapItMonday: Your New Downtown Transfer Center

One of the changes coming with the New TARC Network is a new temporary Downtown Transfer Center at Muhammad Ali Blvd. & 8th Street.

What does that mean for you?

🔄 All routes serving downtown will come together in a coordinated "pulse"
⏱️ Most transfers will take just 5–10 minutes
🚏 New bus bays, shelters, and wayfinding information
🌎 Travel across Louisville will have connections between routes

Whether you're traveling from Pleasure Ridge Park to Jeffersontown, Shawnee to St. Matthews, or anywhere in between, the Downtown Transfer Center will make connecting between routes happen at a central location.

Even riders on routes that run every 30–60 minutes will benefit from timed transfers designed to minimize wait times and help you get where you're going.

📍 Temporary Downtown Transfer Center
Muhammad Ali Blvd. & 8th Street
📅 Launches August 2 with the New TARC Network

Please note you can still transfer anywhere two or more TARC routes intersect and you'll still get 2hrs of FREE transfers with your TARC Card or Mobile Ticket.
