The list The North Carolina Department of Transportation's Integrated Mobility Division (IMD) is excited to announce funding for 16 new Coordinated Public Transportation (ConCPT) projects that will expand public transportation options and improve mobility for communities across North Carolina. These investments represent a significant step forward in delivering more connected, reliable, and efficient transit services for residents.
By supporting innovative partnerships between transit providers, local governments, and regional organizations, the ConCPT program helps create transportation solutions that better connect people to jobs, healthcare, education, shopping, and other essential destinations.
The newly funded projects will strengthen regional coordination among transit agencies, allowing communities to share resources, improve service delivery, and provide a higher level of service than could be achieved independently. Through these partnerships, North Carolinians will benefit from expanded access to public transportation, enhanced operational efficiencies, and more seamless travel opportunities.
"These 16 projects demonstrate what can be accomplished when communities work together," said Integrated Mobility Division Director Brennon Fuqua. "By investing in coordinated transportation solutions, we're expanding mobility options and creating stronger regional transit networks that will serve North Carolinians."
The ConCPT program encourages collaboration among two or more transit agencies to maximize available resources while improving the quality and reach of public transportation services throughout the state. These projects reflect NCDOT's ongoing commitment to providing safe, reliable, and accessible transportation options that support economic opportunity and enhance quality of life.
