Wake Transit Plan update includes $1 billion for Improvements
In 2016, Wake County voters approved a half-cent sales tax referendum dedicated to expanding and strengthening transit services in Wake County. The Wake Transit Plan (WTP) is the countywide transit investment program that decides how those funds will be spent on services and projects to shape the future of transit service across Wake County. The Wake Transit Plan is updated every four years to revisit and confirm the region’s ten-year transit investment strategy. This plan will decide how to invest nearly $1 billion over the next 10 years to make it easier for people in Wake County to use public transportation.
Last summer, approximately 1,900 people took a survey asking them to share their ideas and priorities for improving public transportation in Wake County. These ideas are part of what we are sharing now and are helping us develop an investment strategy that will:
- Create fast, reliable connections between Raleigh and Durham
- Advance regional rail services
- Expand the programmed bus rapid transit (BRT) network
- Expand frequent local bus service (every 15 minutes or better)
- Build mobility hubs across Wake County to enhance multimodal connections
- Provide safe access to transit with ADA-accessible stops, sidewalk connections, and signalized crossings
We need your input! Help decide which projects should come first. Anyone interested in the project can provide comments by completing the survey in English or Spanish until January 31, 2025.
