The $10,168,250 federal Project Grant award from the Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration under the Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants program (CFDA 20.500) will support the development of the North-South Bus Rapid Transit (NSBRT) project in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The funding will be used to advance the project's multimodal planning, NEPA compliance, engineering, and design activities. This 5.7-mile BRT system is expected to enhance connectivity within the corridor and surrounding areas, encourage equitable development, and improve access to education, housing, goods, services, and employment opportunities. The project aims to operate service every 7.5 minutes during weekday peak periods, every 20 minutes during off-peak periods, and every 10 minutes on weekends, benefiting the residents, students, visitors, and commuters in the Chapel Hill area. The grant award was made on January 17, 2025, with a target completion date of March 30, 2032.
