63 Project ID 23GOT_CD2 Project Transit Project Other Bus Category Infrastructure Subcategory Service Project Description Project NOTE: Project sheet to be updated with cost estimate Project Title Regional Fleet and Facilities from 15% schematic design, in progress as a part of the Study Implementation - Nelson Fleet and Facilities Study. The project sheet will request Road funding for phases of construction required to operate Agency GoTriangle services identified in the Transit Plan. The ongoing fleet and facilities study is evaluating con- FY24 Costs $500,000 straints and needs for maintenance, storage, fueling, and servicing capacity as well as work-flow efficiency at FY25 Programmed $525,000 the GoTriangle Nelson Road bus operations and mainte- Costs nance facility. The outcome of this study will include site selection, schematic design, and cost estimates for a ne Start Date July 2023 and/or expanded facility. The study includes a regional coordination element to identify opportunities for shared facilities for vehicle storage, servicing, and/or repairs. The study has identified onsite expansion and renovation of the current Nelson Road facility as the most cost effective option to address current needs and provide opportunity to address future fleet needs over the course of the useful life of the renovated facility (40+ years). The completed study will include phases and associated costs of han- dling the fleet required to operate the services identified in the Bus Plan. The GoTriangle Operations and Maintenance Facility at 5201 Nelson Rd, Morrisville, NC was originally construct- ed in 1998. In 2006, the facility was updated to add space for administrative functions. GoTriangle is currently operating near capacity of the existing facility. GoTrian- gle's Regional Fleet and Facilities Study recommends the design, renovation, and expansion of their Nelson Road Operations and Maintenance Facility. This capital improvement will add the needed capacity required to accommodate GoTriangle's projected fixed-route fleet of 120 buses, including vehicles needed for operations in Wake, Orange and Durham Counties, through 2050. The renovation and expansion will also include updates to better accommodate the facility's administrative func- tionality. The Regional Fleet and Facilities study has also projected the need to relocate GoTriangle's paratransit maintenance and servicing to a new facility to reach full build-out, the funding for which is not included in this project's design and construction allocation. Facility costs to update the Nelson Road facility will be shared across GoTriangle's service areas.
