New Routes Roll Out in August
The Greensboro Transit Agency will roll out modifed routes in August. The changes are part of the short-term recommendations for the agency’s Mobility Greensboro 2040 master plan. The modifcations will alter existing routes and stop locations to better serve some of the busiest areas of the system. They include a new Route 13, which will improve service on the Randleman Road and South Elm Eugene corridors. All of these improvements will be made without increasing costs. The route modifcations are expected to make the system more efcient and reliable, increase passenger trips, and enable the City to use a three-year, $500,000 Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality grant from Federal Highway Administration and NC Department of Transportation that
will pay for 80 percent of the operating costs for the new route on Randleman Road. GTA’s route modifcations are part of the agency’s Mobility Greensboro 2040 Plan. The plan involved extensive analysis, consideration of transit industry best practices, and continuous public involvement. Mobility Greensboro 2040 establishes core routes with a future goal of 15-minute frequent service along mixed-use corridors. Secondary neighborhood routes primarily serving residential areas would maintain 30-minute service. The routes have been redesigned to improve efciency and on-time performance system-wide and to create direct and bidirectional service wherever feasible on the core routes.
