TOWN OF MORRISVILLE

| Vision
BACKGROUND
Over the past three decades, Morrisville has changed from a rural depot village
to a rapidly growing town in the center of the Triangle Region. Located next to
Research Triangle Park (RTP) and the Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU),
Morrisville has more than tripled in population over the past decade, growing from
5,200 residents in 2000 to more than 21,000 in 2012. In addition, thousands of
commuters pass through the Town every day to reach job centers such as Perimeter
Park, RTP, and RDU. Yet, despite its central location, Morrisville suffers from a lack
of transportation options. Currently, Morrisville has only one bus stop and no rail
transit service.
