Wake County has unveiled four options for its new transit plan.
The choices are divided between rapid rail and bus plans. One option in each category concentrates on frequent service for limited routes. The other option of each would expand coverage while sacrificing frequency.
Planning Development Director Tim Maloney wants residents to consider whether investments in infrastructure or frequency would better serve the community.
"It is not, 'Pick option 1, 2, or 3,' Maloney says. '"It is, 'Look at all the elements of each scenario, or each option and find out where we need to be, with possibly combinations of each one.'"
Maloney says Wake Transit officials are eager to present the options to community groups. Plan options are also available at Wake Transit website, where residents can offer public feedback.
