AMA: GoTriangle Commuter Rail Project - Sept 23 1-3pm

The majority of proposed stations and track mileage in the GTCR proposal is in Wake County and Wake Co. has 3x the annual transit tax revenue as Durham Co. Still, it’s all but assumed that Durham Co. will have to pay a significant amount into this project. (See this discussion in the commuter rail thread for additional context.) Relatively, will Durham Co.'s transit budget be more burdened by this project than Wake Co.?

ANSWER: We are working with our partners, including the counties, to determine how the cost of the project would be shared.
