It’s a bus. It’s a plane. It’s the super way GoTriangle is reminding the community that taking transit to Raleigh-Durham International Airport is already an easy option for travelers.
To support the construction of the 17.7-mile light-rail line between Durham and Orange counties, the Durham VA Medical Center has pledged additional property to move the project forward.
With the Triangle growing by nearly 30,000 people a year, programs that help area workers find better ways to get to their jobs on perpetually packed roads become more critical by the day.
To help improve and potentially expand the vanpool program it provides, GoTriangle has signed a three-year contract to have Enterprise Rideshare operate the service.
The critically needed goods on those buses and on two others and a van that traveled to Newport on Tuesday were from the Triangle residents who contributed to GoTriangle’s Hurricane Relief Bus drive Thursday.
At this year’s Art of Cool Festival, only musicians will be blowing horns if enough festivalgoers use three GoDurham and GoTriangle park-and-ride lots to avoid having to drive and park in downtown Durham during the two-day concert extravaganza.
GoTriangle’s Ride the Bus rap video, written and created to help educate the community in a fun way about the public transit experience, has won one of eight national AdWheel Grand Awards.
Whether your favorite get-out-of-the-house plans involve biking, beers or books, add a twist to your typical trip this month and let the bus be your ride.
“Just the supplies on the five buses represent about 60,000 pounds of precious cargo that we’ll be sending to two of the most devastated areas of our state,” says Jeff Mann, GoTriangle CEO and president. “I couldn’t be more proud of how our community came together for this event."
