Research Triangle Park, NC (Dec. 27, 2018) – Two or three times a year, Pierre Tong happily leaves his car at home and takes GoTriangle Route 100 to Raleigh-Durham International Airport, so he finds it perplexing that the No. 1 misconception he hears about transit in the Triangle is that there is none to the airport.
The increasing popularity of GoTriangle’s long-distance express routes is just one reason the regional transit agency is trying out a higher-capacity transit coach over the next month. The 45-foot MCI coach bus can comfortably carry 54 riders, nearly 20 more than a regular 40-foot bus, potentially cutting down on the number of buses that will be needed to transport an expanding Triangle population up and down Interstate 40.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK (May 8, 2018) - A deep concern for the environment fueled Matthew Cushing’s decision to start using a bicycle as his primary mode of transportation six years ago, but it’s another kind of green he references most when promoting the benefits of biking to others.
“The thing a lot of people respond to is that it’s a cheaper way of getting around,” says Cushing, Transportation Demand Management outreach coordinator for Duke University. “Even people who are not green-minded can appreciate a more cost effective way to get to work.”
