Wake Forest Public Transit Plan - October 2023

WAKE FOREST PUBLIC TRANSIT PLAN

COMMUNITY AND STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK The project team heard from the people of Wake Forest through multiple means of community and stakeholder engagement. The goals of the engagement process were to 1) better understand how well existing services are working for the public, and 2) consider potential alternatives. Eight engagement activities were held by the project team to gather feedback from the community and stakeholders. This section outlines these events chronologically as they were held throughout the planning process from October 2022 through July 2023. Board of Comissioners and Planning Board Work Sessions To kickoff the project, the project team made introductory presentations at the October 4, 2022 Board of Commissions work session and the October 11, 2022 Planning Board meeting. The presentations provided an overview of the transit types, key considerations, and the engagement efforts that would be made to develop the Transit Plan. Pop-up Event The project team attended the Lighting of Wake Forest holiday event on December 2, 2022 to provide information and gather feedback for the Transit Plan. At this pop-up, attendees were invited to place a sticker on a map to indicate where they would like to be able to travel to via bus. The map board received 224 responses and the Town staff along with the project team were able to answer questions about existing transit service from residents.
