Over the past several weeks, GoTriangle and supporters of the Durham-Orange Light Rail Transit Project have worked to seek a solution to the $500,000 state funding cap for light rail projects that was placed in the state budget.
Public hearings are coming up on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Durham-Orange Light Rail Transit (D-O LRT) Project.
The public hearings follow last month’s release of the DEIS. The document reports on the environmental, transportation, social, and economic impacts associated with the transportation improvements in the Durham-Orange (D-O) Corridor, and the proposed 17-mile light rail project between Chapel Hill and Durham.
What you can do with a parking space is amazing. And this year, the Association for Commuter Transportation has recognized GoSmart with a national award for public sector marketing and creativity in promoting different uses for a parking space. The award was presented this week during ACT’s annual meeting in Baltimore.
GoSmart, managed by GoTriangle, is a Triangle-based resource agency that assists employers, employees and agencies with commuter resources using transit, vanpooling, teleworking, carpooling and biking.
GoTriangle changes next month will add new trips on the Chapel Hill-Raleigh Express and Durham-Raleigh Express in rush hours and provide new service to Perimeter Park in Morrisville.
The changes were approved in June by the GoTriangle Board of Trustees and will take effect on August 16, 2015.
The love story on the bus continues. Now that your favorite TV series are on summer hiatus, catch up on Season Two of the mini-series “As the Bus Stops.”

Fans can see the first video of the new season and all the rest at:
