Transit Rider Focus Group for Wake Transit Plan Update In 2016, Wake County voters approved a half-cent sales tax referendum dedicated to expanding and strengthening transit services in Wake County. The Wake Transit Plan (WTP) is the county-wide transit investment program that decides how those funds will be spent on services and projects to shape the future of transit service across Wake County. Every four years, the Wake Transit Plan is updated to revisit and confirm the region’s ten-year transit investment strategy. This plan will decide how to invest nearly $1 billion over the next 10 years to make it easier for people in Wake County to use public transportation. Wake Transit staff is currently sharing ideas for how to improve transit access across the region. These ideas are part of what we are sharing now and are helping us develop an investment strategy that will: · Create fast, reliable connections between Raleigh and Durham with bus rapid transit (BRT) · Make regional rail options better for traveling between major destinations like Durham, Raleigh, Cary, and Wake Forest · Expand the programmed bus rapid transit (BRT) network · Expand frequent local bus service (every 15-minutes or better) · Build mobility […]

Don't miss out on our LGBTQIA+ Film Series screening! Join us for our monthly program on the fourth Tuesday of the month. We will be showcasing films with diverse themes around sexuality and gender. This program is co-hosted with the Carolina Aging Alliance. All folks 18 and older are welcome! January's Film is "Longtime Companion." Longtime Companion follows the lives of a small circle of friends from the first mention of the disease in the New York Times in 1981. First referred to as "Gay-Related-Immune-Disorder," we watch the effect of the disease as it devastates the lives of our protagonists. Jumping between Manhattan and Fire Island, vignettes carry us from the it-couldn't-happen-to-me mentality of the early days of the disease to the invasive effect it has had on all of our lives, today. The title of the film comes from the New York Times' refusal to acknowledge homosexual relationships in their obituary section during this period. Instead, survivors were referred to as "Longtime Companions" of the deceased. Location: Five Points Center for Active Adults Age: 18 and older Cost: Free Register on RecLink
