On Wednesday, October 26, GoTriangle, WRAL-TV, the United Way of the Triangle, and the Raleigh-Durham International Airport partnered to fill a Storm Relief Bus with needed items for families affected by Hurricane Matthew. By 7 that night, the three buses and two vans at Carter-Finley Stadium were filled to the brim with canned goods and cleaning supplies for families affected by the storm.
Ten businesses and individuals in the Triangle have been honored for promoting ways to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality for the Triangle and North Carolina.
GoTriangle and RDU International buses delivered food and other supplies to families impacted by Hurricane Matthew in Nash, Edgecombe, Wilson and Johnston Counties on Thursday, October 27.
"We want to sincerely thank our amazing partners and generous community for your tremendous outpouring of support," said GoTriangle General Manager Jeff Mann. "Because of you there are many families in eastern North Carolina who will have food and other critical supplies immediately."
GoTriangle, WRAL-TV, United Way of the Greater Triangle, and the Raleigh-Durham International Airport are partnering to collect and deliver critical need supplies to people impacted by Hurricane Matthew in eastern North Carolina.
Together, we are asking our community to help fill the GoTriangle Storm Relief Bus on Wednesday October 26, 2016 from 5:00 am – 7:00 pm. The bus will be parked in the Carter-Finley Stadium Lot, Gate A, Trinity Rd.in Raleigh.
GoTriangle is excited to launch a new education and awareness campaign, GoTogether, sharing real commuter stories to inspire our community to seek viable travel options to work, school, doctor's appointments and other important places, without driving alone in a car.
As fuel supplies in the Triangle remain low, GoTriangle reminds commuters there are transit options available.
"If drivers want to put their cars in park during the shortage, there are many bus routes available throughout Wake, Durham and Orange counties along with other options like rideshare and biking," said GoTriangle General Manager Jeff Mann. "September also is Try Transit month, which is a great time to explore different ways to travel to work, school, and other appointments."
Among the routes available:
Leaders from local universities, health care institutions, government and the private sector are working with GoTriangle to meet the community goal of improving public transit in Durham and Orange counties including implementation of the Durham-Orange Light Rail Transit Project.
Having a direct transit connection from Cary to N.C. State makes it possible for a brother and sister to attend college, and go together.
