Body
Partners from across Wake County, including GoTriangle, GoRaleigh, GoCary, GoApex, Wake County, and CAMPO have worked together to produce the Regional Technology Plan in coordination with other providers across Durham and Orange Counties. The Regional Technology Plan will guide transit technology investments over the next five years in areas including: real time passenger information, service planning tools, transit signal priority, regional fare payment technology, GTFS coordination, and regional open data.
GoTriangle will share progress on the Regional Technology Plan, including a summary of each of the six focus areas of the plan, recommendations for each area, transit plan cost impacts, and implementation timelines.
The goal of the recommendations within the Regional Technology Plan is to guide the future deployment of technology solutions for transit agencies that are scalable, interoperable, and sustainable for the region. Recommendations in each memo are focused on the features and capabilities that agencies should consider when procuring transit technologies that can advance the region towards systems that are more interoperable with one another over time. Existing transit technologies are identified in the memos only to highlight current deployments by transit agencies in the region. Recommendations are not intended to direct agencies towards any specific technology vendor, but rather to provide guidance on how technological procurements can be made so that interoperability among the systems can be achieved over time.
The Regional Transit Technology Plan went out for public engagement in the fall for Wake Transit adhering to Wake Transit engagement policy standards. The final draft of the plan is currently in a 30-day engagement period spanning from February 16 to March 17.
