About the North-South Bus
Rapid Transit (BRT)

Chapel Hill Transit’s proposed North-South Bus Rapid Transit (NSBRT) project will bring high-capacity transit to Chapel Hill along an established, high-ridership route, connecting employees, students, and residents to key community assets and hubs such as UNC’s flagship campus and healthcare facilities. 

Running 8.2 miles with 17 stations along Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard, South Columbia Street, and US 15-501 South, the proposed route connects the Eubanks Road Park and Ride at the corridor’s northern end to the Southern Village mixed-use community.

The NSBRT will feature dedicated bus lanes, transit signal priority system, optimized station locations, and a companion multiuse path for more reliable, efficient, and multimodal transportation.
