July 8, 2021 – West Bend, WI – The team from GO Riteway Transportation Group gathered in a muddy field on Lang Street in West Bend on Thursday morning to break ground on its new facility.
The plan is to build an 8,900-square-foot industrial building for office/dispatch center and bus service facility for GO Riteway at 1145 Lang Street.
“We’re a family organization and we’re always looking to grow in a positive community like West Bend and Washington County,” said Ron Bast, chairman of the board at GO Riteway Transportation Group. “We really want to serve the citizens West Bend and the West Bend School District.”
Plans for the new facility include two driveway access points. The westerly driveway will be used for the bus and taxi\shuttle vehicles and the easterly driveway will be used for the general public and employees.
There will be a total of 154 parking stalls are provided including 79 standard and 3 barrier free parking stalls in the northern parking lot in front of building for staff and customers and there will be 72 parking stalls located behind the building for 52 school buses and 20 taxi/shuttle vehicles.
Rochelle Bast, co-owner of GO Riteway Transportation Group, said this will be a great development for the area. “This is huge for us,” she said. “We live in Washington County, it is our hometown and this is just a very nice extension of what mom and dad started in 1957.”
The project at 1145 Lang Street is already underway. The parking lot is expected to be completed first and then the facility should be finished by January 2022.
