What's Next in Transit? You Tell Us!
In 2019, Advance Apex, the Town's comprehensive transportation plan, identified the highest-priority transit project as creating a circulator route to serve downtown Apex and parts of NC 55. That project became GoApex Route 1, which began operating in July 2022. Advance Apex also identified other potential transit routes, but didn’t prioritize them beyond introducing Route 1.
The Transit Prioritization Study hopes to get feedback on community recommendations and priorities for future transit growth and improvements. So, what’s next in transit? You tell us!
Complete the Transit Prioritization Survey online now through May 15th!
