What if a transit center could change how a city moves, works, and dreams? We head to downtown Hanford for the KART Transit Center ribbon cutting and hear directly from the people who built it—county supervisors, city leaders, state voices, and the team at KCAPTA who turned plans into a place the community can call its own.

We explore the full arc: assembling land and replacing blight with a four‑acre hub, blending federal, state, and local funding, and designing for real life with indoor seating, charging stations, a kid corner, and a shaded courtyard. Guests explain how the center connects riders to college, medical appointments, and jobs across Kings County and into Fresno and Tulare, while setting up future links to high‑speed rail. We dig into paid driver training that opens doors to stable careers, and we talk about building for tomorrow with room for electric buses and growth as the population rises.

Beyond mobility, this is a story about economic development and identity. Leaders share how a visible, modern facility can spark new investment, strengthen pedestrian and bike safety, and restore momentum along key corridors. We balance ambition with pragmatism—rail dreams versus today’s demand—highlighting why flexible bus networks remain the backbone of regional access. Along the way, we keep the hometown spirit alive with a packed holiday calendar, a local flavor shoutout, a heartfelt Christmas message from Tyree Reed, and a full sports rundown across basketball and soccer.

Press play to see how infrastructure, policy, and community pride converge on one corner of downtown—and why it matters for every rider and neighbor. If this conversation resonates, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

We'll highlight some of this week's community calendar, and I'll be back with your sports report. But make sure you tune in until the end of today's episode for a special Christmas greeting from Tyree Reed. This is the Hanford Insider for Monday, december fifteenth.

SPEAKER_09:

I'm your host Rob Bentley, and it's December, the season of lights, community, and tradition here in our hometown. This month we're diving into everything that makes the holidays in Hanford shine. So grab a warm drink, settle in, and let's celebrate the magic of December together, right here on the Hanford Insider Podcast. In Community News This Week, the Hanford City Council will be meeting on Tuesday, December 16th. In the afternoon study session, they'll be introducing Ryan Bercenio as the new information systems analyst.

If Mayor Mark Kyrus is able to make a Wednesday wrap-up video, I'll be sure to repost it here on the Hanford Insider. I have some personal news to share with you as well that'll impact the future of the Hanford Insider podcast. After 36 years of teaching music in Hanford and Lamour, I've decided to retire. In retirement, one of my goals is to make this show even better and to reach a wider audience. I have some ideas that I'll be working on, including potentially posting two shows a week and maybe even adding a video component. I'm really excited about this opportunity, and I'd love to hear from you about what you'd like to see on the show moving forward. Thanks for your support over the last 125 episodes.

I tried some of the peppermint bark ice cream at Superior Dairy on Saturday night, and let me tell you, if Christmas had a taste, this ice cream would be it. It was simply delicious. We're still lucky to have this ice cream shop in town, and I can't wait to see it after the upcoming remodel. Council Member Kimber Reagan will be hosting this month's Council Corner at 107 West 7th Street on Thursday, December 18th at 5 p.m. The Run Run Room off Two Mile Run Walk will be held on Sunday, December 21st.

The New Cart Transit Center held its ribbon cutting ceremony last Saturday before they start moving in next month. I had a chance to visit with some of the dignitaries that attended and spoke to those invited to the event. Enjoy these interviews. Well, it's great to be here with County Board of Supervisors Joe Neves. Joe, welcome to the show. Hey, thank you for being here. Thank you for inviting me. Hey, Joe, this facility, this car facility is amazing. Um, can you tell us a little bit about the background of the work that's gone into this? I'm going to be talking to a lot of people today, but uh, I'd like to hear from your perspective kind of what you see as a big impact.

SPEAKER_07:

You know, actually, this is almost three projects in one. Uh, the land acquisition, and we want to thank the Armandi family for being a big um anchor of that, as well as a few other parcels. When you create a four-acre parcel in the middle of a downtown area, especially a historic area like the city of Hanford. So the land acquisition was one, and then the demolition, and then the rebuilding of the infrastructure, and then the creation of this structure, uh, you're really spanning a hundred years. A lot of the buildings that were here were 50, 60 years old. And this building we expect to last another 50 or 60 in the future. So it it was actually three projects: land acquisition, site preparation, and then construction. That's great.

SPEAKER_09:

And uh the people that helped put this together, the uh transportation authority, I've been working on this for uh many years, and and this is not locally funded, this is actually federally funded. Can you share with us about that?

SPEAKER_07:

Correct. This has been a um a big effort from CART, but also the association of governments who brought in the federal funding as well as the state and then the local. The city put in some development uh money as well uh to be able to incorporate all of it in because as you can imagine, the water, wastewater, storm drainage, uh to be able to create the new set of um grades to be able to get this facility open and serving the public has took a lot of effort of state, federal, and local.

SPEAKER_09:

Well, that's great. Um, this is gonna be an amazing facility for not only Hanford, but the entire county serving as the hub of transportation in the future to high-speed rail and such as well. Yeah. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_07:

This this might be located in Hanford, but it's gonna serve the entire uh all of the communities in Kings County and uh as well as Fresno and Tullery, because these routes go to from Leighton all the way to Visellian. And so we're here for not just the local, but we're here for a regional approach uh to get people where where they need to be. Uh many of the riders are are folks that need the help with transportation, and we're here to help them do that. And whether they're a student going to Lamore College or COS or somebody looking for medical treatment or somebody looking to uh visit a pharmacy, we can get them there and get them back home safely.

SPEAKER_09:

Well, thank you and the county board of supervisors and everybody in the county government that uh helped make this beautiful building a reality. It's it's so amazing.

SPEAKER_07:

It is going to help people in the summertime as well as the wintertime. Uh, this design is, I think, somewhat industrial, but yet it it certainly fits the agricultural uh the architectural concept of downtown Hanford and kind of transitions to a new modern era as well. So I I think the architect has done a wonderful job. They certainly did.

SPEAKER_09:

Thank you so much. What a wonderful day it is for the city of Hanford and the County of Kings. And with me is mayor of Hanford, Mark Kyrus. How are you doing, Mark? I'm good, Rob. How are you? Amazing. Uh, this facility knocked it out of the park. I am so impressed by every detail. Can you tell us maybe about the impact that this is going to have on the city of Hanford?

SPEAKER_06:

Well, I couldn't agree with you more. When you just walk around the facility here, see what they've done. It's absolutely beautiful. You know, for us as a city, you know, downtown, it's it's gonna be an economic economic driver for us. I think when you start making improvements like this and investments into portions of the city, um, you're gonna have businesses and things that are gonna follow. This is gonna be the place uh that starts it all. I couldn't be happier for Cart and for the county and you know, to see this come forward. But uh, as far as for the city goes, what what it's gonna bring for us in the future is just uh it's limitless right now.

SPEAKER_09:

Yeah, I can't agree with you more. East East 7th Street, uh down to 10th Avenue, and then eventually all the way out to the high-speed rail station. There's some big plans uh for East Hanford, yeah?

SPEAKER_06:

Yeah, I think uh, you know, we've we've talked about connectivity, we've talked about uh bringing the downtown into focus, um, along with the you know, the East uh Lacey project that that's on the sleep to begin. And with the improvements here in downtown, I think and as we work out towards the ultimate opening of the high-speed rail station, um, this is gonna be that connectivity that we need. And so to make it ease of access for people to get where they need to go, whether it's you know through public transit or you know, some of the improvements that we have coming forward with um pedestrian and bicycle safety and things like that, uh, as we move out to the east side of the city. Um, yeah, but it's gonna, the future looks wonderful.

SPEAKER_09:

Yeah, and it's uh it's an amazing investment. I just can't believe the infrastructure that is in place in this building to improve the quality of life for so many people connecting them to uh Fresno, Vicelia, and all of their different routes.

SPEAKER_06:

Yeah, we have some we have some great opportunity uh in the future here, and I and I really hope that our community can get behind that um and support uh the direction that we're trying to bring to the city. Um, you know, growth is inevitable. And um I know it's changed and I know that's difficult for some, but as you see this, you know, building and the opening, grand opening today and and the things, it it's just inspirational for us. And as a council member, um, I know I know our council's excited to see what these next, you know, eight, 10, 15 years bring.

SPEAKER_09:

Well, it's great to have on the show Patricia Gates Matthews, the mayor of Lamore. How are you doing, Patricia?

SPEAKER_02:

I'm doing very well. Thank you for asking. How about yourself?

SPEAKER_09:

Doing amazing this holiday season. And one of the reasons I'm doing so amazing is this building is just great. They did such a great job. And I understand that you've served on the K Capta committee uh with the county that's kind of helped make this possible. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes, gorgeous building. Absolutely. I agree with you there. I have been on K Capta for the last year. So it's been a pleasure to serve on that board. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09:

So CART has a great countywide service, and it's going to be connecting the citizens of L'Amour to more areas uh through this station. Yes?

SPEAKER_02:

Yes, it's gonna be an awesome area for those that are connecting from Lamore to the surrounding areas, a nice hub for them to come to. Great building, beautiful downtown Hanford. Who doesn't like to check out downtown Hanford? So I think it's gonna it's gonna be really great. It's a a nice upgrade, long overdue.

SPEAKER_09:

For sure. Thank you so much.

SPEAKER_02:

Thank you.

SPEAKER_09:

Well, it's great to be here with Senator Melissa Hurtado, who represents this area. And this is a big day for Hanford, yes?

SPEAKER_10:

Oh, yes, it's a big day.

SPEAKER_09:

So can you tell us a little bit about this project and how your office has been involved in the in the pro the whole process?

SPEAKER_10:

Well, look, I I'm gonna give all the credit to uh local leaders, uh, the county. Uh it was really a community effort. I played a tiny, tiny little role. We uh advocated for the funding to come here to get this project done. But really it was a community effort that drove this. Uh so today's grand opening of this facility and what it means for uh Keynes County. It's really it's it's a victory for the people of Keynes County. It's it's their effort.

SPEAKER_09:

Well, we certainly appreciate your support. Thank you so much for coming and thank you for all of your support.

SPEAKER_10:

Of course, thank you.

SPEAKER_09:

It's so great to be here once again with Heather Quarter. We first met uh about a year and a half ago, and we talked about this new facility that was coming to downtown Hanford at that time. It was just a bunch of drawings in your office, but we are here at the ribbon cutting in December 2025. How are you doing, Heather? You must be pretty excited.

SPEAKER_01:

I am so excited. It is come finally the project has come together and it is taken a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. But we're finally here. And so I'm really excited for not only myself, but also the community who gets to use the transit center. It's an incredible, incredible transit center. And I think that it'll really help people move in transit easier.

SPEAKER_09:

And we know that this is in really good shape. It looks almost done. We've still got some things to do, don't we?

SPEAKER_01:

Yes, we still have a couple of things to do, and we expect admin to be moving over here sometime this month, but then we're gonna start operating our buses out of here in February, probably.

SPEAKER_09:

Yeah, February.

SPEAKER_01:

Yep, February second.

SPEAKER_09:

Well, that's great. Um, I notice as we're looking out the window here, there's so much open space for the visitors um to wait for their buses. Can you tell us a little bit about the courtyard area?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, so the courtyard is available when the temperature is moderate, which is what, about two months here in the valley, you know, where they can sit outside, they can have some drinks, and they can enjoy their time while they wait for the buses. But our real shining joy here, a jewel here, is actually the indoor where we're gonna have seats for everybody. We have a place for people to plug in their computers, we have a little kid corner. It's so that people can stay here and enjoy while themselves while they wait for the buses.

SPEAKER_09:

Well, this is a wonderful addition to downtown Hanford. I've talked to so many people that are just so impressed with the facilities and what it's going to do for the community. And I want to thank you and the KCAPTA that has just made this uh vision become a reality.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, thank you. We've really we couldn't do it without the community support, uh, support from our federal representatives and state representatives. So there's a lot of people to thank, but mostly we want to thank our community, the people that make this possible.

SPEAKER_09:

And it's so great to be here with Angie Dow, the executive director of the King's Transportation Authority. And you are one happy person today, yes?

SPEAKER_05:

Yes, I'm very happy.

SPEAKER_09:

So tell us about this facility and uh maybe some of the things that are going to make it so special for the community.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh this facility we envisioned in 2017, and we're seeing everything that we envisioned is exceeding our expectations. We wanted to uh design and have a place that people chose to be in instead of moving people through, uh being a part, more a part of a community than public transit and demonstrating not just what public transit can do for a community, but what a facility like this can do to a community. Uh, we're very excited. We have different uh drivers, we have different spaces for everyone, the public, employees, drivers, training. We have our own training program to train drivers. So you don't have to have a driver's license. We have a program you can get into you're paid. Once you get your background cleared, you are paid. And we have a training program that gets you your driver's license to become a bus driver. So we have that here. We have a lot of space, we have a lot of our alternative space, and we built this facility for the future. So it's got a lot of things that we aren't currently using, but we will be using in the future for electric buses, electric vehicles, being able to grow the transportation center, transportation buses to our communities as Hansford pub um population grows. Our transportation now can grow with it. We have the space to do that.

SPEAKER_09:

That's amazing. I know you're very busy, and I want you to be able to get back and greet all these wonderful visitors that have come out today. Thank you so much. Joining us now is County Board of Supervisor Doug Verboon. How are you doing, Doug? Very good. How are you doing today? I'm doing great. You know, we talked a few months ago about the impact of this car facility on the community and the county, but it it's a beautiful day here. This some facility is amazing, isn't it? Yeah, this facility really shows where we need to go with the city of Hanford on our architecture to build up our downtown. So when people come out of town, they see things they they're impressed with. Uh, you know, when you drive from Vicelli to Hanford, it's not very impressive as you come down Lacey. So if we can get this, start this as a next movement in our town, we have something. Yeah, and that's what is I was actually talking to uh the mayor of Hanford, Mark Kyrus, about uh the people that will now start seeing this area uh with potential, it's not blighted as it was. This was one of the most blighted intersections in the city, yeah? It's always been kind of blighted. But you know, when you have generational wealth and you have uh families that own property, as they get older, they don't pass their property down to the next generation or younger generation, it kind of gets stagnant. And so we're at that stagnant stage now where we need to start turning properties over to a new type of investor to improve our community. Yeah. And uh and this is eventually it's going to carry all the way, the development and the improvements are going to carry all the way out to the high-speed rail station out there at 43, yeah? Yeah. So in in the high-speed rail uh station where it's at today, you know, Kings County sued high-speed rail to get them to be accountable to the Prop 1A language. And so uh we fought them for nine years trying to get everybody taken care of. And once we got everybody taken care of, that was impacted. Uh, we didn't have a station. So in the agreement, I I wanted an agreement to drop the lawsuit. So uh we have a station, King's Valerie Station. And so they told me once I passed away, then they would name the state after myself. Oh no. I said, I'd appreciate it to be gone. I'd uh is it's pretty controversial now. I don't want my name on it right now. Yeah. And uh the connection with the Cross Valley Corridor, that's something that doesn't get a lot of attention, but that's something that definitely will play a part in this in, you know, years down the line. Yeah, the cross valley corridor is a a dream that we should probably get together someday with, but it we don't have enough population base to make it work. Uh it's too expensive to have that side of a rail to move people around. We can do it with a bus a lot easier, a little cheaper. But it's an idea we got to keep in the in the in the back of our minds just in case it happens. Well, it's a great day and it's a great turnout here at the new car facility in downtown Hanford. Thank you so much, Doug. Thank you for being here. Appreciate it. All right. Well, with us now we have Alexandra Mesito. How are you doing, Alexandra?

SPEAKER_03:

I am much better after witnessing the incredible thing that we did here in Hanford today.

SPEAKER_09:

So tell us how your office was involved and has been involved in development of these kinds of projects.

SPEAKER_03:

You know, from the beginning, I always advocate for the Central Valley, not just in what I legislate, but also engaging with legislators from urban areas to make them understand that how we live in the valley is very different. And sometimes their policies impact us differently here, and we pay the price for them. Uh, it also meeting with Angie and seeing the wonderful things this project was going to bring to Hanford, we engaged and wrote letters of support, uh, engaged with our colleagues that we knew could ultimately write those checks. And to be here today to see it all come to fruition and just how excited the community is for it. It's truly a heartwarming moment when we have to fight for every penny here in the Valley when it comes to funding from Sacramento.

SPEAKER_09:

Because a lot of the the time this money flows to other um larger population centers, but this is such a huge impact on Kings County.

SPEAKER_03:

It's not just Kings County, it's all all the areas around that serves, you know, this area. But that's what's so frustrating in Sacramento is historically we've been at the back of the line when it comes to the scale of projects like this that you're seeing in the investment. And that's why I've been very loud from the beginning of making people appreciate and recognize just how vital the Central Valley is and that we're not talking about a few years of us being overlooked. We're talking about decades. And it's with basic infrastructure not just for transportation, but water and things like that. So to see Sacramento finally recognize that and write a check, like I said, it brings me some optimism. But this is I said in my speech, this is not the finish line. This is the starting line to prove that the Valley deserves investment like this and more and more of it and then maintenance going forward.

SPEAKER_09:

Absolutely. Well thank you so much for coming to Hanford. Thank you for your support.

SPEAKER_03:

Thank you.

SPEAKER_09:

Merry Christmas and God bless and our final interview is with Leanne Eager, who is one of the speakers on the program. And Leanne, you said a lot of kind things about Kings County and the way that things are being done and you pointed to this project in particular as an example of things that uh California is doing right. And um and I I I was wondering if you could kind of expand upon that for just a little bit with us.

SPEAKER_04:

Sure. So as a commissioner on the California Transportation Commission, we get a lot of projects that come through and you know I I'm a big road person so adding another lane on the 99 I'm all for it. When we're looking at innovation when we're looking at what we should be doing in California where we're doing multimodal bringing communities together. A lot of times you know I go to San Francisco and I look at their transportation hub. Beautiful right I went to LA Metro we looked at what they're doing down there. But this is about community this is transfer transformational in the whole Central Valley. And people are dreaming about what they can do and what they can do better. This is putting it to practice this is saying you know here in the Central Valley and the CTC put in the state of California put in$90 million.$90 million in a community like Hanford changes people's lives. And this building and this whole transportation system right here that you're building is proof of that. You know and it starts here even though right now we have a building and you know we're going to have a place where people can catch a bus outside and and bring your bikes it's just the beginning of that dream. Because after that now let's rent bikes out of here. Let's have a company come and say hey I have a great idea we're going to have bike rental coming out of here economic development right putting people to work putting people on bikes let's have a transit system come through here maybe a light rail in the future coming out of here it has to start with that dream and this is that building that's going to do that.

SPEAKER_09:

Well thank you so much for coming to Hanford and sharing the good news with us and all of your support of the projects in California means a lot to us. My pleasure it's been quite a year for Tyree Reed. He was selected to serve as the Grand Marshal of the Christmas parade and he was recently announced as the man of the year in the Hanford Sentinel Contest. He was a guest at the Cart Station ribbon cutting on Saturday so I wished him a Merry Christmas and asked him if he had a message for all of us. Not surprisingly he was quick to grab the microphone.

SPEAKER_00:

Merry Christmas everybody and God bless women may God bless women whatever special blessing and heavenly blessed in Christ Jesus amen and Jesus is the reason for the season remember it's Jesus Christ who is able to make a difference and a change in each and every one of our lives amen.

SPEAKER_08:

Jesus loves you amen and now it's time for Hanford Insider Sports with Eric Bentley we'll start with girls basketball where we had a close one on Monday night between Hanford High and Hanford West with the Bullpups emerging victorious 36-35 to pick up their first win of the season. Hanford High also picked up a win over Edison in tournament action and now sit at 2-6 on the year with their next game taking place after Christmas. For the Hanford West girls the loss to the Bullpups was followed by a defeat at Tuleri Union as the Huskies fall to one and eight with home games versus Kalinga and El Diamante this week. And the Sierra Pacific girls team represented well in Hawaii picking up a pair of wins 41-35 over Kalani High and 56-34 over Puna. A non-league tilt with Sanger awaits the 3-8 Golden Bears this week. We'll stick with Sierra Pacific but on the boys basketball side where their roller coaster season continues. After seeing their 3-0 start slide to 3-4, the Golden Bears bounced back with a huge week last week, rolling through Foothill, Yosemite, Wasco and Highland in tournament action to improve to seven and four on the year. They'll look to keep the momentum rolling with more tournament play this week in Tulary. The Hanford West Boys split their four games last week taking down Kennedy 35-31 on Wednesday and Corcoran 66-60 on Thursday, falling to McFarland and Kalinga on Friday and Saturday. The three and seven Huskies will gear up for this week's games at Kalinga and Lamore before taking a break until after the new year. And the Hanford Highboys went winless against tough competition in the Clovis Nike Invitational falling to South McLean and Clovis. The 3-8 Bullpups hit the floor with games sandwiched around Christmas at the Pauli Wilhelmson tournament. And the weather might be gloomy outside but things are heating up on the pitch as all three girls soccer teams continued their winning ways last week. Hanford High remains undefeated a one-to-one draw the result in midweek action with Bullard before breezing through weekend tournament action against Napomo, Atascadero and Redwood to improve to 5-0 and one on the year. The Sierra Pacific girls put up a pair of clean sheets last week routing Kalinga 9-0 before taking down Edison 1-0 to bolster their record to 5-2-1. And a busy week for the Hanford West girls going 3-2 in their five games the wins versus Corcoran Mount Whitney and Strathmore and the losses a pair of shutouts to Golden West and Menache finds the Huskies sitting at 6-4-1 with two games left in the calendar year. In boys soccer Hanford High notched their first win of the season in a 5-0 drubbing of Orange Cove last Wednesday before turning around and beating Central 3-1 later Wednesday afternoon. A loss to Fowler on Thursday was the only hiccup before closing out tournament play with a 3-0 shutout of Kingsburg to improve to 3-3-2 overall. No more action left until the new year for the Bullpups. The Sierra Pacific Boys went 2-1-1 in their four matches last week taking down Hanford West 3-0 and to Larry Union 4-1 playing Mount Whitney 2 a draw and falling to Clovis North. The Golden Bears are 2-5 and 5 with one game remaining before Christmas break. And a tough week for the Hanford West Boys aside from the loss to Sierra Pacific, a pair of losses to Kalinga and Mount Whitney and a draw with Parlier were last week's results as the Huskies still look for their first nonforfeit win of the season.
