Project 1 23GOT_CD4 Project Transit Project Other Bus <br /> Category Infrastructure Subcategory Service <br /> Project Description Project <br /> The FY24 request includes phase II of the project, which Project Title New Regional Transit Facility <br /> consists of land aquisition, design, and construction of (Orange County Share) <br /> a new regional transit center(RTC). The current feasi- Agency GoTriangle <br /> blity study includes an evaluation of the current facility <br /> and identification of necessary passenger amenities and FY24 Costs $350,000 <br /> infrastructure improvements, and a feasibility study to <br /> evaluate the potential new locations for the RTC, taking <br /> into consideration current and future planned routes, land FY25 Programmed $700,000 <br /> use, supply, and price. This study will be used to inform Costs <br /> the location and design of phase II. The current feasiblity <br /> study is funded by county transit plans in Wake, Durham, Start Date June 2023 <br /> and Orange counties. <br /> The GoTriangle Regional Transit Center(RTC) is the <br /> primary hub for GoTriangle regional bus services con- <br /> necting Wake, Orange, and Orange Counties. This study <br /> includes an evaluation of the current facility and identifi- <br /> cation of necessary passenger amenities and infrastruc- <br /> ture improvements, and a feasibility study to evaluate the <br /> potential new locations for the RTC, taking into consider- <br /> ation current and future planned routes, land use, supply, <br /> and price. The current location of the RTC on Slater Road <br /> in Orange creates overlapping routes leading to ineffi- <br /> ciency, and is not proximate to 1-40 which causes delays <br /> and reduced reliability during peak commuting times. <br /> The feasibility study is evaluating location options that <br /> improve operating efficiency and reliability, connections to <br /> planned BRT and CRT, as well as potential for transit-ori- <br /> ented development. <br /> DRAFT <br /> FEBRUARY 15, 2023 <br />
