The Kalamazoo Transportation Center is an intermodal complex in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan. Amtrak and Greyhound provide regular service there.[3] The center is also the major downtown transfer hub for Kalamazoo's Metro Transit bus system.

Amtrak does not allow passengers to check luggage at Kalamazoo, but does permit carry-on of up to two suitcases plus "personal items" such as briefcases, purses, laptop bags, and infant gear.

In fiscal 2010, Kalamazoo was the second-busiest of Michigan's 22 Amtrak stations; on the average, about 310 passengers boarded or left trains each day.[4]

The center is not an airport; local air traffic uses the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport, about four miles south.

Development

The original depot was built in 1887 by the Michigan Central Railroad, replacing an earlier structure. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 11, 1975.[5][6]

The station was rebuilt as a multi-modal facility in the early 21st century. The project was a collaboration between local, state, and federal authorities, with the Department of Transportation awarding a $3.8 million grant.[7]
