Davidson County commissioners accept NCDOT-funded microtransit feasibility report, no funding commitment made
Summary
The Board of Commissioners voted to accept a North Carolina Department of Transportation-funded feasibility study examining microtransit services in Davidson County. County staff and consultants emphasized that acceptance of the report does not commit county funds or implementation.
Davidson County commissioners voted to accept a microtransit feasibility study presented by consultants from AECOM and staff from the county's transit program, a county official said during the May 1 meeting.
The study — funded entirely by the N.C. Department of Transportation’s Integrated Mobility Division — evaluated how on-demand, app- or call-based microtransit could integrate with the county’s current fixed-route and demand-response services. AECOM consultants Erin Matthews and a colleague identified potential service zones, cost estimates, funding sources and next steps for a pilot. The consultants and county staff emphasized the acceptance vote was to acknowledge receipt of the study, not to authorize implementation or local spending.
