The facility opened in 2019 after Capital Metro was unable to negotiate a parking lease deal with the previous terminus in the Westgate Shopping Center located at South Lamar and Westgate Boulevards.[4] The transit center uniquely provides shaded covered parking by making use of the empty space underneath the SH 71-US 290 freeway.
