Pine Hills Transfer Center Service to Start Aug. 10

August 6, 2025

Service for the highly anticipated Pine Hills Transfer Center will begin this coming Sunday. The $15 million facility will offer the community a convenient way to efficiently make connections rather than transfer downtown.  The facility will have eight bus bays, a custom canopy similar to LYNX Central Station, integration of the Pine Hills Bike Trail, a reconstructed Belco Drive and a LYNX employee building.

 The new facility will serve Links 9, 37, 43, 44, 48, 49, 125, 301, 302, 303,

NeighborLink 813 and ACCESS LYNX.  Details about the project, maps and schedules are available at: www.golynx.com/pinehills.

Some of the project highlights include:

• 5.3 million pounds of concrete poured to support buses and the passenger platform.
• More than 4,100 feet of wiring to power the facility and lighting.
• 32,590-plus pounds of steel used including the canopy.
• New traffic signal and intersection modifications at Belco Drive and Silver Star Road for safe bus travel.
• Project was funded by the Federal Transit Administration, Florida Department of Transportation and Orange County.

A grand opening celebration is being planned, and the date and time will be shared once it is scheduled.
