The feasibility study will examine whether the former campus could help address space and modernization needs identified in the 1962 Public Safety Building. The study does not approve the full conversion project; it is intended to provide more information about costs, maintenance, and feasibility. MetroRide’s fare technology contract advanced, but it still requires information technology review, and riders may continue paying with cash.
