Bus updates for the R&D cities
The two municipal bus systems serving our beloved R&D cities are receiving new upgrades. GoRaleigh is unveiling a new Google Maps compatible extension to track its buses in real time.

Our first committee meeting will be online only, on Monday, June 17th from 11-12 pm. You can register here; more information to come closer to the meeting date.
