At its July meeting, the N.C. Board of Transportation approved $87,717 in state funding for Chapel Hill Transit (CHT) to conduct a feasibility study for the expansion of the Eubanks Road Park-and-Ride lot.
The funding, administered through the Urban/Regional Bus and Facility Program, will serve as the required state match of the Federal Transit Administration Urbanized Area Formula Program Capital grant received by CHT. In total, CHT will receive $877,182 in funding to study increasing the lot capacity by either purchasing nearby property or constructing a parking deck on the current lot.
