New routes mean new connections
GoTriangle is the metropolitan Triangle’s provider of regional transit service and connections. In prior RTA communications, we have applauded the success of the region’s expanding frequent transit network, which is now the third-largest in the southeastern United States, thanks to the efforts of several providers in our region, including GoTriangle.
Travelers in our region now have access to frequent, 15 minute all-day service between Durham Station and the Regional Transit Center in southeastern Durham near Research Triangle Park, via GoTriangle routes 700 and 705. Riders heading to intermediate stops have access to 30 minute frequency service, to destinations including Durham Tech (via route 700) and RTP Hub and Boxyard (via route 705). As several students at the NC State Pack Lab Public Relations team have noted in a recent communication to RTA, “For the Triangle’s business community, investments in transit aren’t just about transportation. They’re about producing stronger connections between jobs, local businesses and people.”
Growth in population means required growth in transportation
There was a recent commentary in a national newspaper about transportation, and the need to continue to invest in infrastructure in the face of congestion. The author was specifically referring to the national airports and air travel system, but my sense is he could have referencing almost any aspect of mobility in support of commerce. I invite you to read more in this week’s blog.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. I hope everyone has a blessed and safe holiday week/weekend.
Let’s get moving.
