MANAGEMENT PLANS
Project Management Plan, Regional Rail Project, Raleigh, NC

Project Description
The Triangle Transit Authority (TTA) was responsible for the Project. The Project consisted of regional rail service from Durham to downtown Raleigh, utilizing the existing North Carolina Railroad and CSX Transportation railroad right-of-way. The total length of the project was 28.1 miles. The project included 12 stations, linking Durham, Research Triangle Park, Morrisville, Cary, Raleigh, and North Raleigh. The system intended to connect residential areas; major employment areas, including downtown business districts and the Research Triangle Park; RDU International Airport via shuttle; three major universities; and sports and entertainment destinations. The service would use exclusive railroad tracks located adjacent to the existing tracks and operate articulated, bi-directional, diesel-powered multiple units (DMUs).

SG&A Scope of Work/Challenges
Steve Greene & Associates was contracted with Triangle Transit for a wide variety of program management services. One such task included the preparation of a Project Management Plan.

Success Story
The Project Management Plan was prepared through a collaborative process between SG&A and TTA’s management and staff. The PMP was reviewed by the Federal Transit Administration and deemed adequate for a major transit infrastructure project.
