Orange County FY25 Annual Work Program 52 <br /> Capital <br /> REQUEST# Project Name Requesting Agency <br /> 23GOTCD4 New Regional Transit Facility(Orange GoTriangle <br /> County share <br /> Estimated Start Date Estimated Completion Estimated Capital Cost <br /> FY20 FY28 FY2025 (Current) $ 140,000 <br /> FY 2026(Subsequent) $ 140,000 <br /> Project Description/Scope Enter below a summary of the project that may later be used as the project <br /> The FY25 request includes phase II of the project,which consists of land acquisition,design,and construction of a new <br /> regional transit center(RTC). <br /> The Triangle Mobility Hub(aka regional Transit Center relocation)will provide travel time savings to riders of route 800 <br /> which serves Chapel Hill and UNC.The Triangle Mobility Hub and bus network improvements it enables will provide <br /> faster, more frequent connections for longer periods of the day to Orange County residents wishing to travel to <br /> destinations in/around RTP, including Hub RTP and Boxyard, as well as in Southern Durham County and Wake County. <br /> Additionally,through improved travel times/ reduced operational costs,the relocation will also enable GoTriangle to <br /> realign the 800 and 805 in order to provide all day service,for the first time,on route 805 which also serves Chapel Hill <br /> and UNC.This concept was identified in the Draft GoTriangle SUP and viewed favorably by riders on the 800 and 805. <br /> The completed feasibility study includes an evaluation of the current facility and identification of necessary passenger <br /> amenities and infrastructure improvements, and a feasibility study to evaluate the potential new locations for the RTC, <br /> taking into consideration current and future planned routes, land use, supply, and price.This study will be used to <br /> inform the location and design of phase II.The feasibility study was funded by county transit plans in Wake, Durham,and <br /> Orange counties. <br /> Please detail project justification <br /> The GoTriangle Regional Transit Center (RTC) is the primary hub for GoTriangle regional bus services connecting Wake, <br /> Durham, and Orange Counties. This study includes an evaluation of the current facility and identification of necessary <br /> passenger amenities and infrastructure improvements,and a feasibility study to evaluate the potential new locations for <br /> the RTC,taking into consideration current and future planned routes, land use,supply,and price.The current location of <br /> the RTC on Slater Road in Durham creates overlapping routes leading to inefficiency and is not proximate to 1-40 which <br /> causes delays and reduced reliability during peak commuting times.The feasibility study is evaluating location options <br /> that improve operating efficiency and reliability, connections to planned BRT and CRT, as well as potential for transit- <br /> oriented development. <br /> Phase Fiscal Quarter and Fiscal Year Fiscal Quarter and <br /> Planning <br /> Design Q1 FY24 Q2 FY25 <br /> Construction Q3 FY25 Q2 FY28 <br /> Equipment <br /> Land-Right of Way FY25 FY25 <br /> Other <br /> Project Goal <br /> Implementation Matrics <br /> 54 <br />
