Tahoe Transit Center

At the turn of the last century, Lake Tahoe became a scenic holiday destination. The region has since become a year-round residential community as well as a popular recreational retreat for the roughly 11.5 million people living within a four-hour driving distance. As a result, traffic congestion and pollution have begun to threaten Tahoe’s natural resources and beauty. The new transit center building form is idiomatically modern and iconic of transportation. It appeals to visitors and local riders is likely its most profound contribution to regional sustainability and support for public transit.
