Narrative
The MPO Board released the Bus on Shoulder System (BOSS) Study for public comment at their August meeting. The public comment period was advertised on the MPO website, social media, and in the Herald Sun. So far, no public comments have been received.
The North Carolina Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) and its partners, GoTriangle, the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO), and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) initiated a study to create a programmatic approach for identifying, prioritizing, and developing best practices for BOSS deployment in the Triangle and across North Carolina.
The goals of the study include:
• Identify most promising locations for BOSS expansion in Triangle
• Create a blueprint for how other North Carolina regions can establish successful BOSS programs
• Document best practices and design criteria for BOSS that can be used statewide
The Bus on Shoulder System (BOSS) Implementation Blueprint outlines the study’s findings related to these goals.
Recommendation
TC Action: Recommended that the MPO Board adopt the BOSS Study.
