Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Application purpose: The purpose of this award is to plan, design, and complete NEPA project development activities associated with the Wake Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Western Corridor Project.
Activities performed: Funds will be used to plan, design, and complete NEPA related activities for the Wake Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Western Corridor Project.
Project activities will include 10 enhanced stations (19 transit platforms), transit infrastructure such as dedicated lanes, piped storm water infrastructure, green storm water infrastructure (GSI), a multi-use path, new sidewalk and sidewalk improvements, functional landscaping, and overall improved connectivity.
This project will also provide Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access including ADA compliant handicap ramps, high visibility pavement markings, and updated traffic and pedestrian signal designs with leading pedestrian intervals (LPI) and audible beaconing pedestrian signals.
Expected outcomes: Funding will permit the recipient to plan and design the necessary infrastructure needed for revenue service of the Wake Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Western Corridor.
Funding will ensure the project can address existing and projected future growth and travel demand as well as create infrastructure that allows the transit service to bypass major congestion points.
The project will facilitate ridership growth along the corridor, improve transit service and customer experience, as well as support local planning efforts to preserve and enhance the quality of life along the corridor.
Intended beneficiaries: Funding for project planning, design, and NEPA will allow the recipient to implement the Wake BRT Western Corridor Project and deliver a high-capacity bus-based system for transit riders.
The addition of BRT to the recipient's existing network of public transportation will allow the system to better meet transit demands, take more cars off the road, and provide faster, more efficient service to riders.
Furthermore, the project will connect neighborhoods in the urban core with rapidly growing activity centers of the city, facilitate ridership growth along the corridor, and improve the customer experience.
Subrecipient activities: No subrecipient activities will be applied for in this application.
