Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority (CCRTA) will begin construction for the new Port Ayers Transfer Station on June 5. The current Port Ayers Transfer Station will be closed, but service in the area will continue along Ayers Street via temporary stops.
The Port Ayers Transfer Station was built in 1994 and has the second highest ridership within CCRTA’s service area. The current station is more than 10 years beyond its useful life. The new Port Ayers Transfer Station will be located adjacent to the current station but will have enhanced safety, modern technology, efficient lighting and equipment, improved customer amenities and an ADA universal design concept.
“The board of directors and our organization are excited to begin construction on the new Port Ayers Transfer Station. Once completed, Port Ayers Transfer Station will be a central hub for the west side community. It will help revitalize the region and will positively impact area neighborhoods and local businesses, said Miguel E. Rendon, CCRTA’s acting chief executive officer.
In late 2019, CCRTA received 5339(b) competitive grant funding for the construction of a new Port Ayers Transfer Station. Construction for the new Port Ayers Transfer Station was awarded to Marshall Company, Ltd. The cost of construction will be $6,198.
