The South Strip Transfer Terminal (SSTT) at Sunset Road and Gilespie Street is operating as a successful park and ride service for travelers flying out of McCarran International Airport. The approximately 100 first come, first-serve spaces already nearly reach capacity during peak travel periods and that is why the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) will be more than doubling capacity with 160 new parking spots. The SSTT offers a climate-controlled terminal as well as other amenities to help make users of the transportation and parking alternative comfortable while they wait for the next bus to whisk them to the airport in as little as ten minutes. Watch the video below to see how the SSTT works and how it can speed up your out of town travel.
Having a choice of conveniently located park and ride lots throughout the Las Vegas Valley is going to be an essential part of the RTC’s transportation future. The Durango Drive and U.S. 95 park and ride facility will serve as a location where transit riders can park their cars and board an express transit vehicle or meet up with carpool or vanpool partners. Another park and ride center is planned at the intersection of Durango Drive and Westcliff Drive. Through a cooperative agreement with the City of Las Vegas, the RTC is planning to develop the Westcliff Transit Center. The 3.1-acre-site will feature a public parking lot, a loading and unloading area for transit vehicles, passenger waiting areas and other amenities. The Durango and U.S. 95 park and ride is scheduled to be completed in fall of 2009 while the Westcliff and Durango Drive park and ride is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2010.
Heading to McCarran Airport?
From the South Strip Transfer Terminal, it’s about a ten minute ride on Route 109 to McCarran International Airport. Currently, approximately 100 spaces are available free of charge on a first-come, first-serve basis to transit riders and to meet growing demand we're adding more than 100 additional parking spaces. Passengers can leave their vehicles in the park and ride lot up to seven days, and their ride to and from the airport will only cost $1.75 each way.
