FAST Study

Pollocksville, NC

Catalyst Design

Catalyst Design worked on a team to develop a Regional Freeway & Street-bases Transit (FAST) Network Study for the Regional Transportation Alliance (RTA) and partner agencies (GoTriangle and NCDOT) Roberta developed a project outreach and inreach strategy to coordinate the multiple different stakeholders and community interest groups and developed an implementation and funding strategy, including a series of policy recomendations and a toolkit for staff and elected officials. The FAST Study plan includes a high-level feasibility analysis, technology and infrastructure assessment, and implementation plan generating a FAST Toolkit to be deployed throughout the region.

Outcomes

Initial study findings complement upcoming investments in bus rapid transit and commuter rail, and capitalize on ongoing and future highway projects and serves as a template for many areas across the state to advance regional transit.
