In 2016, Wake County voters approved a half-cent sales tax referendum dedicated to expanding and strengthening transit services in Wake County. The Wake Transit Plan (WTP) is the county-wide transit investment program that decides how those funds will be spent on services and projects to shape the future of transit service across Wake County.
Every four years, the Wake Transit Plan is updated to revisit and confirm the region’s ten-year transit investment strategy. This plan will decide how to invest nearly $1 billion over the next 10 years to make it easier for people in Wake County to use public transportation.
Last summer, over 2,000 people participated in surveys and engagement activities to share their ideas and priorities for making public transportation better in Wake County. These ideas are part of what we are sharing now and are helping us develop an investment strategy that will:
Create fast, reliable connections between Raleigh and Durham
Advance regional rail services
Expand the programmed bus rapid transit (BRT) network
Expand frequent local bus service (every 15-minutes or better)
Build mobility hubs across Wake County to enhance multimodal connections
Provide safe access to transit with ADA-accessible stops, sidewalk connections, and signalized crossings.
We need your input! Help decide which projects should come first. Visit the project page to take the survey. Anyone interested in the project can provide comments by completing the online survey in English or Spanish until January 31, 2025.
