Wake Forest Public Transit Plan - October 2023

• Sidewalks. If you can’t walk safely to a bus stop, why use it? • Ped. bridge over Capital • Friday Night on White shuttle to neighborhoods to avoid drunk driving

Amenities

Increase the number of bus shelters

• Add a save space to be dropped off on Retail Drive and 98 Hwy. No platform/shelter • Bus Shelters. Reliability • More bus shelters placed near already existing outdoor lighting • Bike rack at select bus stops on main arterials • App for bus schedule real time • Lighting especially in historically African American neighborhoods • Please use the QR code card for transit fee, much more efficient • Make sure bus stops cover both sides of major roads/intersections so people aren’t discouraged by dangerous crossings • Solar powered lights in bus shelters

Questions

• Do you think people will give up their cars and take public transit? • Is this the most cost-effective way to provide transportation to a small group of people? • Smaller buses for WF loop until enough passengers to warrant current large size buses

Miscellaneous

• So excited about the light rail. Will be so good for economic situation of many WF + other towns residents • More frequent stops! More buses = more riders! • I never knew which bus goes which way – They both have “A.” I always ask the driver – 1 goes clockwise + 1 goes counterclockwise • Maintain and build more roads to keep up with large increase in building. Do not be another Northern Va. • It is good for people to get where they need to go without worrying about car payment and insurance that they can’t afford. This is sooo needed! • All around Heritage • Have transit oriented zoned areas be developed by developers who target actual bus riders • Joyner Park • Transit is doing a good job at their job • More bus stops • Just get out of the house • Music • Ride the bus to school • Color • Going to School • Fun • Sing, friends, blue
