The North Harnett Transit Study will engage the community to learn if they want transit, look at different transit options, create a service area, and recommend a transit service option. Then, the Study will finalize their recommendations and create an implementation plan for CAMPO and Harnett County to adopt. After the study, Harnett County officials will need to determine the funding and will coordinate with HARTS to implement the service, possibly contracting with an outside transit provider. Then residents and workers in the service area will be able to use transit!
