The Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transportation District (METRO) provides environmentally sustainable transportation to Santa Cruz County. METRO operates county-wide fixed-route and Highway 17 commuter service from its Santa Cruz Pacific Station complex with connections to Santa Clara County and Monterey Salinas Transit at METRO's Watsonville Transit Center. METRO operates a fleet of 94 buses on at least 24 fixed routes and 32 paratransit vehicles. The METRO Pacific Station complex in the city of Santa Cruz is slated for demolition and redevelopment during the period February 2024 through February 2026. The METRO site is made up of five parcels owned by the City and METRO which span from Pacific Avenue to Front Street and is currently developed with three commercial buildings. Current METRO operations at Pacific Station include active and layover bus bays, a site-specific circulation system, and facilities for public/customer service interaction, operators, and security staff. The METRO Interim Operations Plan (Project) will provide temporary off-site traffic circulation patterns, associated traffic and sidewalk revisions, and ancillary facilities to support METRO's operations during the redevelopment of Pacific Station. The City is requesting for qualifications for the upcoming Pacific Station North METRO Interim Operations Plan Design.
