The Troy Transit Center is an unstaffed train station in Troy, Michigan, United States that is served by Amtrak's Wolverine, which runs thrice daily between Chicago, Illinois and Pontiac, Michigan (via Kalamazoo, Ann Arbor, and Detroit, Michigan.) It is also served by Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART). The transit center replaced the nearby Birmingham Amtrak station in October 2014.
The transit center is located in the southwest corner of Troy at 1201 Doyle Drive. It is about 1,200 feet (370 m) southwest of the former Birmingham Station and is situated behind the Midtown Square shopping center. The Oakland/Troy Airport is located just a few blocks away, on the east side of Coolidge Highway. The transit center has fairly easy access from both I-75 and Woodward Avenue (M-1).
The Troy Transit Center brings together the services of Amtrak, SMART buses and taxis. Designed by local architectural firm Neumann/Smith, the one story, 2,000-square-foot (190 m2) brick building includes a waiting room and restrooms, as well as large expanses of glass that allow natural light to flood the interior. There are 124 spaces for both long and short term free parking. A pedestrian bridge over the tracks allows access to the western platform and protects passengers from inclement weather. There is no ticketing, nor even a Quik-Trak kiosk, and baggage cannot be checked. Station hours are midnight to 2:00 am, 5:00 am to 6:30 am, 10:00 am to 11:30 am, and 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm daily. The station has an elevation of 750 feet (230 m)
