Better Bus Project Overview

The 18-month Better Bus Project consists of five individual projects that will identify GoDurham bus access and service improvements system-wide, with additional focus on GoDurham Routes 3 and 5. A map of improvements can be found at the bottom of this page. Public engagement for the Better Bus Project is guided by the Equitable Community Engagement Blueprint, adopted by the City of Durham in 2019.

To learn about each of the five projects, feel free to explore each of their individual pages to the left. If you'd like to sort by improvement type and outcome, see below.
