The Orange County Short Range Transit Plan has transit improvements proposed for 2025-2027 and 2028-2030. 

Projects Proposed for 2025 to 2027 

• Improve Mobility on Demand (MOD) by adding more vehicles and creating five zones 

• Reroute Hillsborough Circulator into two routes that run every 45 minutes, 6:30AM-6:30PM on weekdays. 

• Implement new Mebane Circulator, running hourly 7AM-6PM on weekdays. 

• Adjust Orange-Chapel Hill Connector to run express on I-40, to better align with GoTriangle 420. 

• Discontinue Orange-Alamance connector and reinvest funds into Mebane Circulator and improved MOD on the Hillsborough-Mebane corridor. 

• Make it easier to book Demand Response, pay for transit, and learn about transit options. 

Projects Proposed for 2028 to 2030 

• Expand Demand Response weekend service to better provide needed trips on Saturdays and Sundays. 

• Hire a Mobility Manager to help people learn about and use transit in Orange County. 

• Conduct a Fare Study to explore reduced or free fares. 

• Improve Bus Stops, build new Rural Transit Hubs, and improve Walking Access to Transit so that people can comfortably get to and wait for transit.
