If you’ve travelled to other cities that have more comprehensive transit services, you may wonder if Raleigh and the Triangle region is ever going to have these opportunities. You can provide input to the future of the Triangle’s rail and expanded bus service by attending a one of several public workshops hosted by the Triangle Transit Authority (TTA) over the next few weeks.
One of the meetings will be in Southwest Raleigh on Wednesday, March 30, at the McKimmon Conference Center from 4 pm to 7 pm.
TTA has announced the schedule for the last series of public workshops that provide Triangle residents with an opportunity to speak to the alternative analysis process as part of the Triangle Regional Transit Program (TRTP).
