Located next to the Target shopping center, the new lot will replace the 95-space lot at 200th Street, helping alleviate the heavy demand for parking along the popular South Miami-Dade Busway, which enjoys more than 20,000 daily boardings. The 20-mile-long Busway connects south Miami-Dade County with Metrorail, allowing passengers to save money and time by avoiding traffic congestion on U.S. 1. 

"This new Park & Ride lot will fill a growing need as more and more residents discover the benefits of fast, stress-free commuting on the Busway," Miami-Dade Transit Director Harpal Kapoor said. "Our Busway Park & Ride lots usually fill up by 8 a.m. because of the heavy demand, and we know more people would use the Busway if the parking were available. Now it will be."
