    Appendix A: Charge to the Special Transit Advisory Commission Joint MPO STAC Charge to the Commission The Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO) and the N.C. Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) have concluded that providing well- planned and timely major regional transit investments is a very important part of maintaining the Triangle region’s current levels of transportation mobility, high quality of life and economic prosperity. Therefore, the MPOs have agreed to pursue the joint development of a Regional Transit Vision Plan for a regional transit system to serve as the foundation for making comprehensive, cooperative, and well- coordinated decisions on future major transit investments. The development of this plan should include a robust public outreach/community engagement effort and a process for establishing priorities for regional transit investments. The two MPOs have also agreed to appoint a Joint MPO Special Transit Advisory Commission to assist them in the development of the Regional Transit Vision Plan (RTVP). This commission will deliver to the region’s two MPOs a set of recommended major transit investments to serve the Triangle based on: Guiding principles for transit investments The Transit Infrastructure Blueprint Project analysis Priorities for transit investments A community engagement process Tasks To accomplish its overall mission, the commission may engage in any and all of the following focus areas. MPO and other staff will provide technical assistance to the commission for these tasks. 1. Review existing transit plans and relevant sections of the 2030 Long Range Transportation Plans, including the goals and objectives stated in those plans.

  • Raleigh, North Carolina
    Coordinates: 35°46′N 78°38′W Raleigh, North Carolina Raleigh (/ˈrɑːli/; RAH-lee)[6] is the capital of the state of North Carolina and the seat of Wake County in the United States. Raleigh is known as the "City of Oaks" for its many Raleigh, North Carolina [7] oak trees, which line the streets in the heart of the city. The city covers a land area of State capital city 147.6 square miles (382 km2). The U.S. Census Bureau estimated the city's population as City of Raleigh 474,069 as of July 1, 2019.[4] It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country.[8][9] The city of Raleigh is named after Walter Raleigh, who established the lost Roanoke Colony in present-day Dare County. Raleigh is home to North Carolina State University (NC State) and is part of the Research Triangle together with Durham (home of Duke University and North Carolina Central University) and Chapel Hill (home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). The name of the Research Triangle (often shortened to the "Triangle") originated after the 1959 creation of Research Triangle Park (RTP), located in Durham and Wake counties, among the three cities and their universities. The Triangle encompasses the U.S. Census Bureau's Raleigh-Durham-Cary Combined Statistical Area (CSA), which had an estimated population of 2,037,430 in 2013.[10] The Raleigh metropolitan statistical area had an estimated population of 1,390,785 in 2019.[11] Most of Raleigh is located within Wake County, with a very small portion extending into Durham County.[12] The towns of Cary, Morrisville, Garner, Clayton, Wake Forest, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon, and Rolesville are some of Raleigh's primary nearby suburbs and satellite towns.

Here’s a list of all computer labs and printers—just in case. Best Places to Eat For days when you just want to grab fast food. About This Guide Why The Student Saver exists, basically. It’s Smart to Commute If you don’t live in university housing—residence halls or university- affiliated apartments—then congratulations! You’re a commuter student. Commuting is a smart choice. You will save a significant amount of money. But it’s not the easiest decision. You Can Save A Lot Of Money… Did you know that it costs over $8,000 just to live on campus for two semesters? That doesn’t even include the cost of the classes you’re actually taking. Ridiculous, right? Living in a residence hall costs $6,020 this year. A meal plan costs at least $2,400.
