The development of a bike share system has been a priority for the Town of Carrboro since the 2009 Bicycle Transportation Plan. Now, the town is one step closer to selecting a bike share service provider to create a unified system alongside Chapel Hill and UNC.
Three electric buses are joining the Chapel Hill Transit fleet. These buses are currently in the pilot trial phase and are part of the Town of Chapel Hill’s larger sustainability initiative.
Chapel Hill Transit returned to full service operations in August, but some riders are seeing changes on their routes. The transit system is experiencing a critical operator shortage. Typically entering a new school year there are 130 to 140 operators. This year, however, there are only 86.
