To date, the TTA Board of Trustees has approved the development of a Regional Rail system supported by shuttle and local bus service. This service will use self-propelled, bi-directional, diesel rail cars using the existing railroad rights-of-way, primarily on its own exclusive new tracks, to connect Durham, RTP, Cary, Raleigh and North Raleigh. The costs for construction are approximately $709 million (2003 dollars). This service is expected to carry about 25,000 daily riders by 2025.
The Regional Rail Transit System when constructed will be 35 miles long and will include 16 stations from Duke Medical Center in Durham to Spring Forest Road in north Raleigh. The first 12 stations are expected to open in late 2007, with the final four stations projected to open in 2011.
TTA is a regional public transportation provider, offering a wide variety of transit and vanpool services to North Carolina's greater Triangle Region and outlying counties. Bus service is available to Apex, Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham, Garner, RDU International Airport, RTP and Raleigh. The Triangle Transit Authority also provides commuter resources and hosts GoTriangle.org, the on-line resource for the public transportation information in the Triangle. TTA plans to implement a 35-mile rail transit system with 16 stations connecting Durham, RTP, Cary and Raleigh, with shuttles linking RDU International Airport and RTP. The rail transit system is expected to be operational in 2008. For more information, visit www.rideTTA.org or call (919) 549-9999.
