The Michigan Department of Transportation has had plans to expand and modernize Detroit's Amtrak station in New Center for more than a decade. A new intermodal facility would bring together rail, motor coach bus, bike-share and ride-hailing services (and possibly exhibits and a restaurant). MDOT received a $10 million federal grant for the project in 2021. The remainder of the anticipated $57 million cost will need to be allocated by the state. MDOT aims to issue a request for proposals in 2023 and open the facility in 2025.
