Alvarado Transportation Center

The Alvarado Transportation Center (ATC) is a multimodal transit hub located at 100 1st Street SW in Downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The ATC also features a clock tower, located on the northwest corner of the complex, facing the intersection of Central Avenue and First Street.

With increasing demand for a larger facility, the Alvarado Hotel, a Mission Revival-style building which served as one of the many Harvey Houses along the train route, was constructed on the site in the 1902.

Amtrak's previous facility, a small building located adjacent to the current depot, was in use for passenger operations since the historic Santa Fe station burned down in 1993.

The Rio Metro Regional Transit District provides limited early morning and midday supplementary bus service to passengers.

[3] The ATC's intercity bus depot makes up most of the southern side of the complex, and contains an enclosed waiting area with ticket booths for both Greyhound and Amtrak, as well as a small cafeteria.

Greyhound serves the following cities from Albuquerque:[4] Autobuses Americanos no longer provides direct bus service to Mexico.

Most routes in the ABQ RIDE system originate from the ATC, including: The #40 D-Ride shuttle was created in 2006 as a response to the opening of the Rail Runner.

[7] Taxi and limo service, as well as personal pick-ups and drop-offs (Kiss-n-Ride) for the entire facility happen at the southern complex, in front of the entrance to the Amtrak/Greyhound waiting room.

The underpass has been considered an undesirable area, and the plans to change it will make it easier for pedestrians and bicyclists to get to and from the ATC, as well as crossing Central Ave.[9] The City of Albuquerque is in the final planning stages of Albuquerque Rapid Transit, a true BRT system intended to replace the current Rapid Ride system.

The La Castañeda in Las Vegas, New Mexico , was built in 1899 as a Harvey House in the same mission revival style and sister hotel to the Alvarado .
