Teron Station is a future OC Transpo Transitway Station in Ottawa, Ontario. The station, which is currently under construction, is located in the suburb of Kanata near the intersection of Campeau Drive and the Highway 417 western off-ramp at March Road. It is also located about an overpass north of Eagleson Station and Park and Ride. Teron was officially included in the Transitway system in the 2007 fall schedules. [1]

The main purpose of the new Transitway facility according to OC Transpo's Transplan program as the result of public consultation process on transit improvement was to improve connections between local routes in Kanata North and OC Transpo Route 101 which travels to the Kanata North Business Park from Orleans, Centretown and Bayshore [2]. Additionnal trips on the 101 during certain periods seven days a week will be added for this purpose. Other routes would be modified in order to serve the station.

Additionally, Teron will be part of a future extension of the Western Segment of the Transitway. According to the Ottawa 2020 Transportation Master Plan, the segment from Eagleson to Terry Fox Drive is scheduled to be completed by 2013. [3]
