Wake Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Branding Survey

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is coming to our region! BRT is a new transportation system that will feature dedicated buses and bus stations with direct routes, faster travel times, and bus-only lanes that help riders reach their destinations quicker and more reliably.

The first Wake BRT corridor is currently being developed, along with the artwork and designs (branding) for the system, including buses and facilities such as stations. We want to get your thoughts and ideas about what these elements should look like and what important characteristics of our area the designs should include.

Please take a moment to answer this brief survey about what you think should be reflected in the BRT brand, along with your thoughts about what makes a visual brand appealing. The information gathered will help inform the Wake BRT branding process.

Thank you.
