Public Information Sessions and Public Hearing Scheduled

Residents are invited to review and comment on the Recommended Wake County Transit Plan at one of several public information sessions and a public hearing held by GoTriangle and the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO). These meetings are part of a 30-day public comment period for the recommended plan that runs from April 18 through May 18.

CAMPO and Wake County, in cooperation with the Research Triangle Regional Public Transportation Authority (also known as GoTriangle), is considering adopting a recommended transit plan for Wake County.

The plan would connect the region across county lines, connect communities to the transit network, provide frequent, reliable urban mobility to communities and enhance access to transit across Wake County. The investment in transit service would be increased in the first ten years of implementation.

More frequent bus service would cover larger areas and span longer hours, riders would see rapid bus service along major transportation corridors, and commuter rail would link Garner, Raleigh, N.C. State University, Cary, Morrisville, the Research Triangle Park and Durham.

The full plan can be found online at www.waketransit.com/.

Four public information sessions will be held at these locations:

  • Monday, May 2, from 4-7 P.M. at the Wake County Southern Regional Center, Room 182; 130 N. Judd Parkway NE, Fuquay-Varina
  • Thursday, May 5, from 4-7 P.M. at the Apex Community Center, Summit Room; 53 Hunter Street, Apex
  • Monday, May 9, from 4-7 P.M. at the Wake County Northern Regional Center, Room 163; 350 E. Holding Avenue, Wake Forest
  • Monday, May 16, from 4-7 P.M. at the Wake County Eastern Regional Center, Room 156; 1002 Dogwood Drive, Zebulon

The boards of CAMPO and GoTriangle will then hold a formal public hearing on the recommended plan on:     

  • Wednesday, May 18, at 5:00 P.M. at the Raleigh Convention Center, Room 402; 500 S. Salisbury Street, Raleigh

The hearing is being held to solicit comments regarding the recommended Wake County Transit Plan, as well as the draft Interlocal Agreement for the plan.

Each speaker will be allowed two (2) minutes to comment.  Hearing participants will also have the opportunity to submit comments in writing during the hearing. Comments received verbally and in writing will receive equal weight.
