GoTriangle is responsible for providing an annual report to Durham County on the progress achieved toward implementation of the plan, the collection of revenues, the costs of projects and transit operations, and any other relevant issues. GoTriangle staff have prepared the FY22 Durham County Transit Progress Report.
