On April 3, 2012, a Notice of Intent (NOI) was published in the Federal Register indicating that the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Triangle Transit intend to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Durham-Orange LRT Project: https://federalregister.gov/a/2012-7897

The NOI includes the Durham-Orange LRT Project's current Purpose and Need; descriptions of the alternatives to be studied during the EIS; and provides links to specific materials on the Our Transit Future website which are relevant to the proposed Project. 

The EIS process will begin with Public Scoping Workshops on May 2 and May 3.  The displays, slideshows, and handout available at these public workshops may be seen on the Project webpage.  We look forward to your first-time or your continued participation.  Public input is critical to making decisions for the Project and our region. This is the time to get involved. Please provide us with your comments no later than June 18, 2012.

THANK YOU FOR VISITING OURTRANSITFUTURE.COM  

As transit planning efforts continue you’ll see updates to the pages at www.ourtransitfuture.com.  The change won’t affect past materials about transit planning and the Alternatives Analysis process in Wake, Durham and Orange counties.  The materials are now organized by “Project” to the left of the home page and on individual web pages.  The materials shown or distributed at past public sessions are now found under “Events/Past Events.”

The Triangle area continues to experience explosive growth — growth that requires increased mobility demands. Improvements must be made to the local transportation systems to maintain the area's quality of life and continue to attract new industry, jobs and residents.

It's time for the Triangle Regional Transit Program, a comprehensive study effort to look at regional transit rail opportunities and explore expanded regional busway networks. The program, spanning Orange, Durham and Wake counties, is an exciting move forward toward transit connectivity in the Triangle.
