The Glenway Crossing Transit Center and Park & Ride, located at the Glenway Crossing Shopping Center parking lot, at the intersection of Glencrossing Way and Anderson Ferry Road, will serve as the major connection and transfer point for several westside routes and will provide customer amenities. The transit center will be completed and operating in the fall of 2011.

The Glenway Crossing Transit Center and Park & Ride will include four bus boarding areas, passenger shelters, approximately 70 park and ride spaces, and other improvements such as new sidewalks, landscaping and signage.

Funding for the Glenway Crossing Transit Center comes from several federal funding sources, including American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Surface Transportation Project (STP), and Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality funds made available through the Ohio Department of Transportation and OKI Regional Council of Governments. Local funds are being used to match federal funds on this construction project.
