TOWN OF MORRISVILLE

6 | Vision

1 | Vision

BACKGROUND Over the past three decades, Morrisville has changed from a rural depot village to a rapidly growing town in the center of the Triangle Region. Located next to Research Triangle Park (RTP) and the Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), Morrisville has more than tripled in population over the past decade, growing from 5,200 residents in 2000 to more than 21,000 in 2012. In addition, thousands of commuters pass through the Town every day to reach job centers such as Perimeter Park, RTP, and RDU. Yet, despite its central location, Morrisville suffers from a lack of transportation options. Currently, Morrisville has only one bus stop and no rail transit service.
