Body

The Regional Transportation Alliance business coalition, GoTriangle, and NCDOT have conducted a study aimed to accelerate the creation of a regional Freeway And Street-based Transit (“FAST”) network.  The FAST study has developed an illustrative, scalable approach true multimodal corridors that could provide rapid, frequent, and reliable transit service across the region.  This is envisioned to complement upcoming investments in bus rapid transit and commuter rail services, while directly serving RDU Airport and Research Triangle Park.  The FAST study is the pre-planning work designed to inspire, inform, and advance ideas for improving regional connectivity, supported by technical analysis.
