Morrisville Public Transportation Study

Needs Assessment

The 2018 Short-Range Transit Plan identified the following service recommendations:  Add key connections to regional destinations  Replace service between Cary and RTC with new Route 310  Provide service to Morrisville and Wake Tech RTP Campus GoCary

GoCary provides fixed-route bus service along six routes in Cary. However, none of GoCary’s routes currently connect to Morrisville. In order to travel between Cary and Morrisville, riders must use GoTriangle Route 300 RTC-Cary-Raleigh (which serves Morrisville during peak hours only), then connect to GoCary routes at the Cary Depot. GoCary plans to add service along Weston Parkway in 2020. This proposed service will pass through Park West Village in Morrisville, providing a direct connection to the GoCary service. GoRaleigh GoRaleigh operates fixed-route bus service in and around Raleigh. The westernmost routes are within I- 40, while the northernmost routes operate near I-540, including Route 70X Brier Creek Express. No routes currently serve Morrisville; riders wanting to connect to GoRaleigh service must use GoTriangle to transfer. GoDurham GoDurham operates fixed-route bus service in Durham County. Connections can be made between Morrisville and Durham County by transferring at the RTC to GoTriangle Route 700, which provides direct service to Durham Station and GoDurham services. GoWake Access GoWake Access is operated by Wake County Human Services and provides demand-responsive public transportation service on weekdays to residents in non-urbanized areas of Wake County. The door-to- door service is available to members of the public who are 60 years or older, have a disability, need transportation to employment or medical appointments, or live in rural service areas of Wake County. Qualified Morrisville residents may use GoWake Access if they are age 60 or older, have a disability, or need work-related transportation, or otherwise qualify for human services transportation. GoWake Access is only available for other members of the general public if they reside in the rural service areas of Wake County (outside the Town boundary), although they may use the service to travel to destinations in Morrisville.
