Short Range Transit Plan

Phase 2 is closed. Check back soon for Phase 3!

 

Blueprint 2035 is Chapel Hill Transit's roadmap for improving service over the next decade. This update builds on the 2020 Short Range Transit Plan and considers how changing travel patterns, community needs, and upcoming projects will shape the system's future. Our goal is simple: create a transit network that is reliable, accessible, and responsive to everyone who lives, works, studies, or travels in Chapel Hill and Carrboro.

This planning process includes three phases, and your input guides each step.

You Helped Us Set the Priorities. You Provided Feedback on the Possibilities.

In Phase 1 of the project, we heard you wanted:

  • More buses at more times of day, including evening and weekends
  • Less waiting
  • More reliable service

In Phase 2, your input guided the possibilities to make sure the plan reflects the needs and values of our entire community. 

  • Surveys, pop-ups, and focus groups were held.
  • Feedback on the proposed changes gathered.
  • Our team is compiling results and preparing for Phase 3.

See the Possibilities Shared in Phase 2: 

  • Explore proposed changes on specific routes or locations. We've also created a map illustrating two possibilities for northern Chapel Hill and Carrboro after bus rapid transit (BRT) opens on Martin Luther King Junior Blvd.
