GoTriangle, the region’s transit authority, seeks to provide the results of
the Greater Triangle Commuter Rail Feasibility study to the public and gain
input on options for a future commuter rail service identified in the
report released, today. The agency is launching a public feedback campaign
that includes online surveys, community meetings and public forums in
Durham, Cary, Raleigh and Clayton, areas through which the system would
run. The proposed Greater Triangle Commuter Rail would help provide a
congestion free transportation opportunity and serve a region slated to
grow by more than a million people and a corresponding 1 million cars in
the next 30 years.


The commuter rail project includes passenger service at 15 stations along
approximately 43 miles of existing North Carolina Railroad corridor between
West Durham and Clayton. The study found that the proposed corridor is well
placed to serve affordable housing, future land use and travel markets.


The results of the Greater Triangle Commuter Rail feasibility study provide
options for implementation of regional passenger rail service. Due to the
high cost and technical challenges associated with delivering the full
project at once, the study considered phases for staged implementation in
the eastern, central, and western portions of the corridor. With costs
varying for each, the three portions include:

*Eastern portion: *Implementing service from Auburn Station in Garner to
Raleigh Union Station

*Central portion: *Implementing service from the Raleigh Union Station to
the Ellis Road Station

*Western portion:* Implementing service from the RTP Station to the West
Durham Station

Out of the three phases, the western phase has considerable challenges
associated with construction including higher cost and a longer
implementation time frame. Due to the challenges associated, the western
phase is being considered for a later stage of implementation.


The next step in determining the implementation stages is hearing from the
public. Local leaders need input on which portion of the project should be
considered as the first segment built. Your input is vital to this next
step! Please visit readyforrailnc.com/feasibilit
