North Harnett Transit Study Phase 2 Survey
North Harnett Transit Study Phase 2 Survey
Welcome!
As North Harnett County grows, different mobility options, including public transit, are being considered. The North Harnett Transit Study will identify transit needs and recommendations for the section of Harnett County that overlaps with the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) boundary. The study area includes Angier, Lillington, Coats, Buies Creek, Raven Rock State Park, and Campbell University. The study began in 2023 and is now nearing completion, having developed a draft recommendation for transit service for the area. This feedback form will be used to gain community input on the recommendation.
The study team has proposed the following transit solution for the North Harnett Area
