GoTriangle received a $25 million federal grant to help improve the agency’s regional transit connectivity.
According to a press release, the funds will go toward building a new multimodal transportation center, the Triangle Mobility Hub, in Research Triangle Park. The proposed $58.3 million mobility hub will be located at the intersection of NC Highway 54 and the railroad corridor.
GoTriangle President and CEO Charles Lattuca said the relocation of its transit center will provide a more efficient bus service for riders, as well as help drive new transit-oriented development.
“The mobility hub will provide better linkages between local and regional bus service, on-demand microtransit and future bus rapid transit and passenger rail projects,” he said in a press release.
The new facility will include:
- Additional covered boarding bays with electric bus-charging infrastructure
