Body
Wake Transit Work Plan amendment cycles are scheduled throughout the fiscal year to allow Wake Transit partners the opportunity to update project scopes, schedules, budget and/or request funding for new projects or project phases. Two (2) amendment requests were submitted for consideration:
1. Town of Wendell: Request for a technical correction to the project description for project TO003-G: Contribution to Zebulon-Wendell Express (ZWX) Park-and-Ride. The correction is to remove the word "lease" as the town does not currently lease the property. The funds in this project go towards site upkeep and maintenance. There is no financial impact associated with this request.
2. Capital Area MPO: Request is for funds to partner with NCDOT Rail Division to complete a Triangle Passenger Rail Initial Feasibility Study. This study will be completed utilizing NCDOT's on-call consultant services and will study feasibility of implementation of the Strategic Regional Rail Infrastructure Investment study, completed in 2025. The results of this study will inform Wake Transit investments in the regional rail system. The study is expected to be completed in six to eight months.
