After public meetings and a comment period, transit planners have added even more improvements to a list of GoDurham service changes proposed in August and set to be implemented Jan. 25.
The buses, built by Proterra, were ordered after GoTriangle won a $943,000 federal low- or no-emission grant to help pay for them. Duke Energy provided $100,000 toward two charging stations as well.
Southpoint mall management is strictly enforcing the space limit and threatening to tow any cars of transit customers parked outside the designated zone.
Every weekday, a GoDurham bus carries Ebony Winston a little closer to her dreams as it shuttles her between her home and the Durham Literacy Center, whose closest bus stop now has a new shelter, bench and other amenities to make Winston’s waiting more comfortable.
Together, GoCary, GoDurham, GoRaleigh and GoTriangle have produced the “Your Better Way to Go Campaign” to tell real stories of real riders sharing the good news about how transit can be, among other things, your stress-free, reliable, affordable and earth-friendly way to go.
More GoDurham buses will be coming more often come January. The latest transit-improvement plan calls for adding 15-minute service on two more high-demand routes and 30-minute service at night on four other routes.
GoDurham and Downtown Durham, Inc. are partnering to bring music and food to travelers and members of the community at the Durham Station Transportation Center from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Third Fridays.
