Share Your Thoughts Our Open House What would you like to see in your neighborhood close to BRT stations? How can the community benefit from BRT and investment in station areas? Transit is a means of connecting people with opportunity. It also is a tool for improving sustainability and equity. In a growing city like Raleigh, transit helps people get around in a way that is affordable, supports walkability, and reduces carbon emissions. Making the most of a transit investment means thinking about how to grow around transit. Station area planning is the process of planning for future bus rapid transit (BRT) stations. It involves planning for where people will walk and bike to transit and how the areas around Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stations can grow to support healthy, affordable, and equitable neighborhoods. This process is separate from the design of the Western BRT stations and bus lanes. It is a community planning process for areas within a short walk of the BRT stations along Western Boulevard but not for the BRT route itself.
