About Bus Rapid Transit

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is coming to our region! Planning is underway for fast, reliable, frequent transportation service along key corridors in Wake County and we expect service to be fully available by 2035.

In November of 2016, Wake County voters approved a plan for focused investment in public transit which puts the implementation of the Wake County Transit Plan in motion. The plan calls for building approximately 20 miles of transit lanes along four BRT corridors within Wake County.

The four corridors are:

How can the community benefit from BRT and investment in station areas? Transit is a means of connecting people with opportunity. It also is a tool for improving sustainability and equity. In a growing city like Raleigh, transit helps people get around in a way that is affordable, supports walkability, and reduces carbon emissions. Making the most of a transit investment means thinking about how to grow around transit. Station area planning is the process of planning for future bus rapid transit (BRT) stations. It involves planning for where people will walk and bike to transit and how the areas around Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stations can grow to support healthy, affordable, and equitable neighborhoods. This process is separate from the design of the Western BRT stations and bus lanes. It is a community planning process for areas within a short walk of the BRT stations along Western Boulevard but not for the BRT route itself. 1030 Richardson Drive, Raleigh, NC 27603 City of Raleigh Sarah Shaughnessy, Senior PlannerProject Managersarah.shaughnessy@raleighnc.gov919-996-2234 America/New_York public
