HAGÅTÑA, Guam — The Leon Guerrero-Tenorio Administration announced Wednesday a joint project between the Guam Regional Transit Authority and the Guam Housing and Urban Renewal Authority to establish a new Dededo Park and Ride transit station funded by a $9.5 million federal grant.
The facility, dubbed the “Ride to Education,” will be built on a 3.4-acre site deeded to GRTA by GHURA, located across from the new Dededo Farmer’s Market adjacent to the GHURA Housing 48 community and near the Northern Regional Public Health Center.
The Dededo-to-Mangilao route will serve the University of Guam, Guam Community College and George Washington High School, with additional stops at the Barrigada and Mangilao mayors’ offices, the Department of Youth Affairs, the Farmers Market and the Northern Regional Health Center. A feeder system will connect surrounding neighborhoods into the broader transit network.
The grant also funds eight new passenger vans and 10 new buses for the GRTA fleet. Community education outreach is expected to begin in Summer 2026, with public meetings to gather feedback on routes under development.
Governor Lourdes A. Leon Guerrero said the project expands access to educational and health care facilities and creates opportunity for the people of Guam. Lt. Governor Joshua F. Tenorio said the effort lays the foundation for a stronger and more sustainable community.
