e <br />Notes <br />Enhanced Region-wide Bus Network _ <br />Strengthening and expanding our bus <br />network offers the greatest potential for eady <br />delivery of improved and expanded transit <br />service. Bus routes will provide vital "feeder' <br />service for circulators and rail investments <br />and build citizen support for transit. It will <br />provide cost effective service for outlying <br />areas with lower residential or employment <br />densities and will serve a dense transit <br />network in our ufian areas using the existing <br />streets. The bus network will include express <br />services and some targeted bus priority <br />strategies in highly congested areas. <br />Rail Transit <br />Recommended for high-capacity corridors <br />with prof acted higher detsities as well as <br />wrridors that offer the greatest opportunities <br />for shaping future land use. Two rail <br />technologies are recommended based on <br />various technical and regulatory factors. <br />DMU Rail Transit <br />Diesel Multiple Unit (DMIJ) trains can operate <br />in the existing rail corridor and are efficient <br />for serving stations that are more than 1 mile <br />apart. <br />Light Rail Transit <br />Light Rail Transit (LRT) uses electrically <br />powered vehicles that can operate alongside <br />regular vehiculartra%c and best serve closely <br />spaced stops. Connects UNC to Dudtam <br />Intemadal Center along previously adopted <br />alignment. <br />Transit Circulator or j <br />Connector Districts j~ <br />Five districts that are carters of activity in the <br />region should be served by high-quality transit <br />circulators or connectors. Circulators or <br />connectors may evolve from initial bus routes <br />on existing roads to other types of bus or <br />trolley services. The RTP-RDU circulator or <br />connector should be an initial priority with <br />planning led by RDU Airport and the <br />Research Tri le Park. <br />L <br /> R e t <br /> <br />~( <br /> <br />Stem <br />Map 1.
