Wake County officials talk Bus Rapid Transit with Virginia transportation execs
(Triangle Business Journal – July 8, 2016)
Joe Milazzo, executive director of the Regional Transportation Alliance in the Triangle, was one of about 50 local business leaders and officials who recently met with Leach in northern Virginia to talk transit. He says Virginia’s incremental approach’s effectiveness was particularly telling. As there’s a bold plan proposed in the Triangle – four BRT lines total in Wake County – it’s likely an incremental approach would be how local metros would proceed, he says. “That way you could jump-start services sooner,” he says.
