44 <br /> Technical Committee 2/24/2021 Item 7 <br /> —Rail, Fixed Guideway and Bus Rapid Transit— <br /> The table and map on the next two pages identify high capacity transit and bus rapid transit <br /> (BRT) that are to be added to the CTP. The reasons for adding these project include: <br /> • Suspended Light Rail Transit—The suspended Durham-Orange Light Rail Transit plan left <br /> several major travel corridors without a plan to provide sufficient transit service. In <br /> place of the proposed D-0 LRT, high capacity transit facilities will be implemented along <br /> the former D-0 LRT corridor to connect Durham and Chapel Hill. These facilities, which <br /> the DCHC MPO added to the 2045 MTP via Amendment#2 in November 2019, will likely <br /> use differing combinations of BRT facilities such as dedicated bus lanes, enhanced bus <br /> stations, signal preemption and separate bus-only ramps at interchanges. <br /> • Extended High Capacity Transit— High capacity transit services have been extended <br /> from the Chapel Hill North-South BRT to Hillsborough, Pittsboro, and Carrboro. <br /> DRAFT CTP Amendment#3 33 <br />
