Project Overview

The Triangle Region’s transit agencies and regional transit partners have worked together toward a unified vision of mobility, efficiency, and improved rider experience through technology integration and regional collaboration.

The Regional Transit Technology Plan (Technology Plan) presents regional transit solutions to enhance a rider’s ability to travel by transit within and across Durham, Orange, and Wake Counties. It serves to identify recommendations that can be followed by regional stakeholders with respect to the following transit technology priority areas:  

  1. Passenger Real Time and Trip Planning Applications;
  2. Transit Service Planning Tools;
  3. Transit Signal Priority (TSP);
  4. Regionally Integrated Payments;
  5. Regional GTFS Publishing Standards; and  
  6. Open Transit Data Portal  

The purpose of the Regional Technology Plan is to guide future deployment of technological solutions for transit agencies that are scalable, interoperable, and sustainable for the region. Each chapter addresses current conditions, opportunities, and challenges current to transit agencies for each priority area. Discussions illustrate case studies of other US transit agencies that have found solutions to challenges addressed. A roadmap budgetary cost estimate of potential technologies for consideration concludes each chapter.
