Campo collaborates with municipalities on Wake County transit plan updates

During the recent Wake County government meeting on April 14, 2025, officials discussed significant developments in the region's transit planning, particularly focusing on the implementation of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) routes. This meeting highlighted the collaborative efforts of various municipalities and agencies, including the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) and GoTriangle, in enhancing public transportation infrastructure.

The meeting emphasized the importance of accessible transit information for residents. Officials noted that detailed community market analysis documents, which include demographic profiles, employment data, land use, and zoning information for each community in Wake County, are available online. These resources can be accessed through the CAMPO website and the Go Forward website, ensuring that residents can stay informed about transit developments and community planning.

A key topic of discussion was the construction of four BRT routes originating from Downtown Raleigh. The city of Raleigh is currently leading this initiative, which aims to improve connectivity and reduce travel times across the region. The planning process for these transit corridors has involved extensive collaboration among local municipalities, each carefully considering land use and zoning regulations to optimize the effectiveness of the BRT system.

Officials acknowledged the complexity of coordinating multiple partners in this transit project, but they expressed confidence in the progress being made. The integration of these transit routes is seen as a crucial step toward enhancing public transportation options and supporting sustainable growth in Wake County.

As the meeting concluded, officials reiterated their commitment to transparency and community engagement, encouraging residents to utilize the available online resources to stay informed about ongoing transit developments. The next steps will involve continued collaboration among stakeholders to ensure the successful execution of the transit plan and to address any public inquiries regarding the project.
