FAST - Freeway, Arterial, Street, and Tactical transit
This study, a follow-up study to the 2020-21 FAST study, focuses on ways to advance the implementation of transit priority infrastructure; i.e., to make our freeways and streets “transit ready”. This includes accelerating BRT linkages to RTP and RDU from downtown Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and Cary. It also includes the advancement of “SMART” freeways (Simplified Methods to Accelerate Relief for Traffic) to create better operations for transit and all vehicles at lower costs and impacts.
The FAST transit study will incorporate a review of potential dynamic transit priority shoulders, key linkages with proposed BRT corridors and extensions, and other transit priority measures for several of the freeways and primary arterials in the core metropolitan Triangle area, including Wake, Durham, Orange, Johnston, and Chatham counties.
