Title
Wake Transit Plan Update Status Report
Bret Martin, CAMPO Staff
Body
In early August, CAMPO kicked off the development of the Wake Transit Vision Plan Update, which will be a tune-up to certain assumptions made in the original Wake County Transit Plan and an extension of the planning horizon for the Wake County Transit Plan from 2027 to 2030. Progress to date on tasks associated with the plan update include substantial completion of the reassessment of cost and schedule feasibility for major capital projects and a countywide transit market reassessment.
Following up on these tasks, CAMPO, in cooperation with a Core Technical Team (CTT) comprised of Wake Transit Plan implementation partner staff representatives, is working to evaluate scenarios of remaining financial capacity identified through 2030. These scenarios will set the stage for an evaluation of high-level investment tradeoffs and solicitation of input from stakeholders and the public, which will ultimately inform the development of more detailed investment alternatives through core design retreats with the Wake Transit Plan Update CTT and other stakeholders in mid-2020. It is anticipated that our next touchpoint to solicit input from stakeholders and the public will occur in the mid-April to mid-May timeframe. The referenced core design retreats to draw up and evaluate alternatives will also be informed by the market reassessment and transit-related recommendations from other regional and sub-regional plans that have been completed.
CAMPO staff will provide an overview of the results of the tasks completed to date and will provide an update on what to expect for the plan update over the coming months at the Executive Board’s March 18th meeting.
