Wake Forest Public Transit Plan - October 2023

Appendix A - Open House Thoughts and Concerns (Mid-Day & Evening Sessions)

Communication Strategy Recommendations

• Facebook/social media campaigns to let people know bus in WF is free + links to route maps etc. • Advertise bus info via homeowner’s associations to inform the community. Let everyone know it’s free! • Social media – Let people know more about para transit services & how to access • Sell advertising spaces on buses & use funds for sidewalk improvements + greenway improvements • The WF lop is very good in general. Crossing high volume roads can be an issue. Maybe try to target surveying people in Sr. complexes, apts., and working service type jobs

Connectivity, Access, and Transit Time

Connectivity to green ways

• Transit to Walnut Creek Amphitheatre for Concerts • Transit to Durham/RTP for work hours • Commuter rail. More efficient bus service • I’d like to take a bus to north Hills, the State Fair, and RBC • In Wake Forest the Hwy 98 by-pass should have bus access between the current bus route • Maybe have the loop bus stop closer to Walmart front door • Light rail services Wake Forest to Cary/Durham/Raleigh • Move the stop at Chick-fil-a to in front of Goodberries • Park + ride lots. Move bus stops. Keep seniors in mind i.e., distance between stops • More Park n ide lots • We need some buses – 2 or 3 – to travel to Raleigh in the middle of the day so we don’t have to spend the whole day in Raleigh • Lightrail to Raleigh. Trolly service • The bus location near Wake Med needs periodic stops • Travel 98 Calvin Jones Hwy • Bus line down Calvin Jones (98) to connect multifamily developments. • Buses to churches on Durham Road • More transportation near Crabtree on Glenwood at CarMax in Raleigh • Joyner Park • Joyner Park bus service needed • Would like a bus to go to Joyner Park – Right now people who do not have a car have no access to this beautiful park and community center • Hwy 98 & Cap Blvd pedestrian crossing to NW College + Career Academy (under Hwy 1) • It would be wonderful to have a bus go to TTC – maybe around noon!! Lots of us “oldsters” would like to go there but not at 7:30 AM • Would like to see a bus go to *Stadium Dr to the Smith Field, Ross and Marshall’s (Capital Outlet) • Need a bus Rogers Rd & S. Franklin St.
