WAKE FOREST COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN
2018-2027 North Carolina State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) The 2018 - 2027 STIP programs transportation projects that are implemented by the North Carolina Department of Transportation for the whole state over a ten-year period. It includes highway, rail, public transportation, bicycle and pedestrian, aviation, and ferry projects. Within Wake Forest, the STIP includes transportation projects for state-maintained roads. The CTP will help guide what projects are included in future STIPs. Projects programmed for the first five years of the STIP (2018-2022) have dedicated funding, whereas projects in the second five years of the STIP do not. Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) CAMPO is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Wake County and parts of surrounding Granville, Franklin, Johnston, and Harnett Counties. MPOs are responsible for long-range transportation plans for metropolitan area. MTPs act as fiscally- constrained plans that refine the planning recommendations made in CTPs and help guide the projects that are proposed for the STIP. CAMPO North East Area Study (NEAS) - 2014 The study looks at how to adapt transportation planning for the Northeast CAMPO jurisdiction, an area that has historically been characterized by small towns and rural land use. Regional growth has seen these areas urbanize, resulting in changes to transportation needs. The plan has a series of end products that address changing transportation needs including best practices, analysis of existing and market conditions, and recommended projects.
US 1 Corridor Study - 2006 & 2012 The study analyzes transportation solutions to convert US 1 to a freeway from I-540 in Wake County to the Vance County line. Phase I and II of the plan were completed in 2006 and 2012 respectively. The plans are currently being reviewed to revise recommendations in light of changes in surrounding land use and transportation conditions and traffic pattern changes. NC 98 Corridor Study - 2018 This study analyzes transportation improvements on NC 98 from Durham County to US 401 in Franklin County. It includes sections on highway, public transportation, bicycle, and pedestrian transportation based on traffic projections, land use, and public input. Recommendations for Wake Forest include widening NC 98 to a four-lane, median divided roadway, a continuous flow intersection (CFI) at NC 98 and Old Falls of Neuse Road, and a quadrant intersection at NC 98 and South Main Street. Wake County Transit Plan - 2016 To guide investment from the Wake County transit sales tax, the Wake County Transit Plan outlines planning goals and objectives within Wake County in the ten years since the plan’s adoption. These objectives are organized into four “Big Moves”:
1. Connect Regionally 2. Connect All Wake County Communities 3. Frequent, Reliable Urban Mobility 4. Enhanced Access to Transit
The Town of Wake Forest will see new and more frequent bus routes as part of the Plan. A commuter rail line from Downtown Wake Forest to Downtown Raleigh is also a long-term goal identified in the Plan.
