Congrats @NCDOT! @FTA_DOT awards the Triangle area $900,000 for Transit-Oriented Development planning along the future S-Line. @RaleighGov won a grant last year for TOD planning along the BRT route (WakeUP helped to write that grant).
NCDOT has received a grant to help Triangle communities plan for passenger rail stations along the S-Line rail corridor from VA to SC.
