Body
The Recommended 2035 Wake Transit Plan, guiding transit investments in Wake County for the next 10 years, has been completed by the consultant and the TPAC recommended adoption by the Wake Transit Government Boards at its meeting on October 23, 2025. The TPAC released it for a 30-day public comment period from September 5 through October 5, 2025. A Joint Public Hearing on the Plan was held by the GoTriangle Board of Trustees and the CAMPO Executive Board (the Wake Transit Governing Boards) at the CAMPO Executive Board meeting on September 17, 2025. The GoTriangle Audit & Finance Committee considered and made a recommendation to the GoTriangle Board of Trustees on the Recommended Plan at their meeting on November 5, 2025. The Wake Transit Governing Boards are expected to take action on adoption of the Plan at their respective meetings on November 19, 2025.
The Recommended Plan document has been updated since the presentation in September based on additional review and comments from the TPAC at their September meeting. Also included as an attachment are the draft Appendices, consisting of the Market Analysis, Engagement Summary (through the Phase 3 engagement that occurred in May 2025), an update to the Community Funding Area Program Management Plan (scheduled to be adopted Included in the Plan are several appendices, including a Market Analysis, Engagement Summary (which will be completed following the final engagement period for the Plan after adoption), an update to the Community Funding Area Program Management Plan, and new Microtransit Guidelines. The Community Funding Area Program Management Plan will be considered for recommendation by the TCC and approval by the Wake Transit Governing Boards at their meetings in November, and the Microtransit Guidelines were approved by the TPAC in September. An additional document, Project Prioritization Guidelines, will be added once finalized and approved by the TPAC.
Staff will present the revisions to the Recommended 2035 Wake Transit Plan that were made since the presentation of the Draft Plan in September, as well as the Engagement Summary from the Phase 4 Public Engagement (also included as an attachment). The TPAC considered a minor language addition to the footnote regarding the Vehicle Rental Tax revenue assumption in the Plan provided by GoTriangle, but did not recommend inclusion of the language due to concerns about how the language appears to presuppose a decision by the Wake Transit Conference Committee on the inclusion of the Vehicle Rental Tax revenue in the Plan, which will be binding on the TPAC. The TPAC prefers the footnote language to remain as-is and will take further action based on a decision by the Wake Transit Conference Committee. The TCC is asked to consider inclusion of the additional language proposed by GoTriangle in the Recommended Plan and recommend adoption of the Recommended 2035 Wake Transit Plan by the CAMPO Executive Board.
Requested Action: Action Recommend adoption of the Recommended 2035 Wake Transit Plan by the CAMPO Executive Board.
