Greenville Area Transit (GREAT)
"It's a GREAT way to get around!"
The City of Greenville is looking for potential sites in the downtown area to build the Greenville Transportation and Activity Center (GTAC). The proposed GTAC would be central facility where all local and regional transportation services are located. For our city, this would include GREAT (City) and ECUSTA (ECU students) buses, Amtrak Connector buses, Greyhound buses, taxis, airport and/or hotel shuttles and even future rail.
To gauge the opinions of our community, we would like to hear from you. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey so that the City will have a clear understanding of your support.
The Center’s proposed plans would include a large waiting room with ticketing area, information center, vending machines, restrooms and other amenities, and be the main transfer center for GREAT buses, as well as connections from one bus to another. The GTAC would also house the City’s Development Services Office and a Community Meeting Room.
