The Kalamazoo Transportation Center is an intermodal complex located in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan. Amtrak and Greyhound provide regular service there. ^[1] The center is also the major downtown transfer hub for Kalamazoo Metro Transit's bus system.

Baggage on Amtrak cannot be checked at this location; however, up to two suitcases in addition to any "personal items" such as briefcases, purses, laptop bags, and infant equipment are allowed on board as carry-ons.

Development

The Kalamazoo Train Station was built in 1887, and has been on the National Register of Historic Places since July 11, 1975.^[2] Before reconstruction it also serviced Greyhound and Indian Trails bus lines. The actual project was a collaboration between local, state, and federal authorities, with the Department of Transportation awarding a $3.8 million grant.^[3]
