    • Commuter rail from Garner to Durham with stations in Raleigh, Cary and Morrisville
    • GoTriangle Express Bus service between Raleigh, RDU Airport, RTP, and Chapel Hill
  • Big Move 2: Connect all Wake Communities
    • Service to all 12 municipalities in Wake County
    • Includes all-day hourly bus service from Apex to Raleigh
    • Includes an hourly connection available during mornings and evenings from Holly Springs through Apex to Cary and RTP
  • Big Move 3: Frequent, Reliable, Urban Mobility
    • Bus Rapid Transit in Raleigh and Cary along New Bern Avenue, Capital Boulevard, South Wilmington Street, and Western Boulevard
    • 15-minute, all-day bus service on high-demand routes in Raleigh and Cary
  • Big Move 4: Enhance Access to Transit
    • Community Funding Areas, like Apex, are eligible to receive matching funding to provide local service
    • Additional funding for Wake County TRACS on-demand service
    • Investment in better stops, shelters, and access to stop facilities

The Town of Apex is actively participating in the implementation of the Wake County Transit Plan:

  • The Town of Apex provides a voting member to serve on the Transit Planning Advisory Committee (TPAC), the technical team charged with implementing the Wake Transit Plan.
  • A citizen advisory committee, the Town of Apex Transit Committee, will serve as a liaison between TPAC and the community, and will help to guide the future of transit in Apex by making recommendations regarding transit service to the Town’s Planning Board and Town Council.
  • Updates to the Town’s Transit Plan Map will be considered through a planned update to the Town of Apex Comprehensive Transportation Plan.
