# Raleigh Transit Authority Board Meeting - November 12, 2026

The Raleigh Transit Authority Board met on November 12, 2026. Procurement- and funding-related updates focused on the Southern Bus Rapid Transit corridor, now at 60% design. The project plans to purchase seven articulated buses—five for service and two spares—and includes station, roadway, pedestrian, and bicycle improvements. Property acquisition is the next step; construction timing depends on a federal grant agreement, with an initiating agreement anticipated in spring 2027 and a 60% design cost estimate expected in February 2027. No contract award or bid approval was reported. The board also reviewed Section 5310 funding recommendations: the evaluation committee allocated all available federal funds, including $315,000 for CAMPO mobility-management staffing over two years. Public comment on the recommendations continues through December and January, with CAMPO approval anticipated in January 2027.

The board approved the October minutes, voted to hold a full board meeting but no committee meetings in December, recommended revised bylaws for City Council consideration, and approved new Go Raleigh Access lost-and-found procedures. Other discussion covered station-area planning for the Western and Southern corridors, transit access and density, service reliability, customer complaints, and a planned passenger-app beta test. Staff also discussed improving Go Access call and complaint tracking; no related software purchase or contract decision was announced.
