If you’re interested in transportation access in the Triangle region, now is your chance to provide feedback on any existing mobility issues and transportation needs.

What is the Coordinated Plan?
This plan is designed to improve mobility by removing barriers and expanding options for transportation. It is tailored to the needs of older adults, individuals with disabilities, and those with limited incomes who are considered transportation-disadvantaged.
What Feedback Has Been Collected So Far?
The DCHC MPO held four public workshops this spring where participants were asked to identify gaps and needs in services, identify solutions, and then prioritize those solutions. Feedback can be found starting on page 33 of the draft plan and includes high priority projects such as:
- Better transportation access across County lines (i.e. between Durham and Orange Counties)
- Increased transportation services for seniors in Durham
- Greater flexibility in scheduling rides for demand services (i.e. not having to book so far in advance)
