CDTA Opens Second Mobility Hub
Capital District Transportation Authority
The Premier Mobility Provider for New York's Capital Region
TROY, NY (October 28, 2024) The Capital District Transportation Authority in partnership with the City of Troy cut the ribbon on the region’s second mobility hub in the Little Italy neighborhood at the corner of 4th and Liberty Streets.
“This mobility hub will encourage public transit use and make it easier for customers, pedestrians and motorists to travel throughout the City of Troy,” said CDTA CEO Carm Basile. “By having CDTA’s menu of mobility options in one place, it will simplify access for customers and highlight CDTA's work in this area. CDTA thanks its community partners for their contributions in making this project a reality, as it enhances mobility solutions in Troy.
Mobility Hubs integrate different modes of transportation and create a single location that gives customers choices with improved connections between bus routes, comfortable waiting areas and safe pedestrian access. Customers will be able to access CDTA transit routes, DRIVE (car share), and CDPHP Cycle! (bike share). The Liberty Square Mobility Hub has been designed to be part of the urban neighborhood and to complement surrounding developments.
"Making public transit more accessible and convenient is a win for our quality of life, our economy and our environment. I'm grateful that CDTA is investing in Troy, and in the Senate, I will continue pushing to strengthen our regional transportation network," said New York State Senator Jacob Ashby.
Assemblymember John T. McDonald III, RPh said, "The Liberty Square mobility hub will increase access to CDTA for Troy residents. Mobility hubs give users various transportation options, which is ideal. Thank you to CDTA and the City of Troy for your continued partnership."
Mayor Carmella R. Mantello stated, “The Liberty Square Mobility Hub continues the revitalization of our Little Italy neighborhood through more walkability, safer vehicle and pedestrian crossings, a bike sharing and car sharing stations. Thank you to Carm and CDTA for the strong partnership and building our neighborhoods block by block.”
CDTA opened its first mobility hub at Gateway Plaza in Schenectady in November 2023. To learn more about mobility hubs and other infrastructure improvements CDTA is making in the region, head to our Capital Projects website: https://projects.cdta.org/
Great news. Can you catch a Flex to get up the hill to RPI in the a.m.? Or is downtown out-of-area for Flex since it is served by other routes?

2moAwesome congratulations! St. Peter’s is coming along nicely too I’m a St Peters employee, they are actually debating canceling the bus passes for employees after you literally turned their parking lot into a transit hub. Make it make sense 🤯
