Three of the Research Triangle region’s transit agencies recently were awarded federal funds from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit Administration (FTA) through the competitive Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Program. These funds will go toward updating and modernizing facilities, replacing transit vehicles, and purchasing safety training equipment. 

In March, GoTriangle is making changes to service hours, frequency, and the alignment of some routes as well as the addition of one new route. These changes will expand service to better connect people and the region with high-quality transit throughout the Research Triangle region.

In March, GoTriangle is doubling frequencies and increasing weekday service hours along Route 100, a core route which runs between Downtown Raleigh, North Carolina State University, and the Regional Transit Center (RTC).

In March, GoTriangle is making changes to the alignment of some routes as part of its regular service change improvements process. These changes will expand service to better connect people and the region with high-quality transit throughout the Research Triangle region.

In March, GoTriangle is improving the alignment on a key route in Durham, as well as offering a brand-new route to improve direct access between Durham and Research Triangle Park (RTP). The changes also improve regional transit access for riders going to and from North Carolina Central University (NCCU) and Durham Technical Community College (Durham Tech), and mean Routes 700 and 705 will double the number of trips to Durham Station and RTP on weekdays.

GoTriangle, the Research Triangle’s regional transit agency, recently won a First Place AdWheel award from the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) for GoTriangle’s Raleigh Union Station Bus Facility (RUS Bus).
