Southern Illinois Multi Modal Station

The proposed SIMMS project replaces an aging, deteriorating, and functionally obsolete train/bus station in downtown Carbondale (401 S. Illinois Ave) with a new station that will bring together multiple modes of transportation into one safe, efficient, and convenient location to serve all of Southern Illinois. SIMMS will provide better access to public transportation to the surrounding rural counties and will better connect those users to regional services that are located in Carbondale. When complete, SIMMS will greatly enhance the quality of life in the City of Carbondale, Jackson County, and the greater Southern Illinois region. As of September 14, 2022 the project is in design and seeking approvals from the Illinois Department of Transportation and the city of Carbondale. Bidding is possible by mid-October 2022 with an anticipated construction start of January 2023.
