Wake Forest Public Transit Plan - October 2023

WAKE FOREST PUBLIC TRANSIT PLAN

Community Survey The project team released a community survey to learn more about the public transit preferences of residents. The community survey was made available from December 1, 2022 to February 19, 2023. The survey was available in an online format and a paper form made available at the December 2022 pop-up event. There were 687 unique participants. Results from the survey are summarized on page 16 and in Appendix A. Public Open Houses Two public open houses—one early afternoon and another in the evening—were hosted at the Alston- Massenburg Center by the project team on February 2, 2023. The goal of these open houses was to provide residents and stakeholders with information on the Transit Plan. Attendees were invited to share feedback on their existing use of transit and future transit needs. These open house events also included activities for kids. The project team hosted a BBQ to encourage participation and asked participants to ride the bus. The event was advertised via postcards mailed to residents and on the project’s webpage.

Rider Survey From March 12, 2023 to April 6, 2023, a survey focused on collecting input from people that use the existing transit services in Wake Forest was released by the project team. A total of 51 participants provided feedback related to existing transit and opportunities for improvement. Results from the survey are summarized below and in Appendix B. To promote the survey, the project team posted QR codes on sidewalk decals, posted signs at bus stops that took users to the online survey, and handed out information with the QR code to bus riders.
