Wake BRT: Western and Southern Rapid Bus Extensions Study

CAMPO has completed a major investment study (MIS) that identified and evaluated rapid bus routing options and selected preferred solutions for rapid bus extensions to both of the planned Wake Bus Rapid Transit (BRT): Western and Southern Corridors. The planned Wake BRT: Western Corridor will connect downtown Raleigh to downtown Cary. The planned Wake BRT: Southern Corridor will connect downtown Raleigh to Garner.

This MIS identified and evaluated potential alignments for rapid bus extensions and transit priority treatments between Cary and RTP and Garner and Clayton. The study also evaluated appropriate transit service levels for each extension, including the type of transit, how often service will run, and what destinations it will serve. The outcome of this process is a set of preferred alternatives recommended for consideration of local adoption, along with phased implementation recommendations and potential program funding opportunities.
