What is your opinion on commuter rail for the Greater Triangle Region?

Review the feasibility study and submit your comments at Ready For Rail through February 19th

The results of the Greater Triangle Commuter Rail feasibility study revealed a few opportunities for the implementation of regional passenger rail service. Due to the high cost and technical challenges associated with delivering the full project at once, the study considered phases for staged implementation in the eastern, central, and western portions of the corridor. With costs varying for each, the three portions include:

  • Eastern portion Implementing service from the Auburn Station in Garner to Raleigh Union Station.
  • Central portion Implementing service from Raleigh Union Station to the Ellis Road Station.
  • Western portion Implementing service from the RTP Station to the West Durham Station.
