Connecting Employees, Students, Residents, and Visitors
Multimodal Connectivity
The N-S BRT project will benefit BRT riders, cyclists and pedestrians. Sidewalks, bike paths and multi-use paths will be provided along much of the corridor, providing safe and easy access between travel modes.
Proposed Conditions
Conceptual visual displays were created to illustrate the proposed conditions for the intersection of N. Columbia St and W. Rosemary St.
Transit Supported Development
The N-S BRT project team led by AECOM and Dover Kohl held a series of community events in 2019 to gather input and ideas that would be used to shape and inform the route’s stations and nearby areas.

What is the North-South Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project?
The Town of Chapel Hill’s North-South Bus Rapid Transit (NSBRT) is the planned 8.2-mile line along one of the town’s busiest and most vital thoroughfares stretching from Eubanks Road in the north to the popular Southern Village in the south. As the region’s first BRT system, N-S BRT will connect employees, students, residents, and visitors to their regional connections and local destinations.
BRT combines high-capacity buses with exclusive traffic lanes and traffic signal priority to decrease travel times and improve the rider experience. BRT is efficient and enhances transit service by providing more frequent buses, shorter travel times and more reliable service.
