FAST begins service to Bill Crisp Senior Center on July 1

By Staff Report, posted 11 months ago

The Fayetteville Area System of Transit (FAST) is adding an additional stop to Route 17 which includes the Bill Crisp Senior Center. Service to the center is slated to start on July 1. 

The new service will run Monday through Friday during the center’s operating hours. 

A new bus stop pad and shelter has already been installed near the entrance to the senior center, which has an average of 4,500 to 5,000 participants per month. 

The frequency of this route will be about every 90 minutes. The new stop will provide convenient access to the center from Cross Creek mall, Two Bale Lane, and numerous other destinations on the west side of Fayetteville. 

FAST will also be replacing seven obsolete bus shelters with new upgraded amenities that will match the City’s brand. This includes seven complete shelter packages with a 12-foot shelter, bench and trash can. 

The total cost of the new shelters is $129,786.60 and shelters are funded by federal grants.  

The precise location of each shelter has not yet been determined. For more information on bus schedules and stops, please contact Jaimie Walters, Transit Planner, at 910-433-1626 or by email at JaimieWalters@FayettevilleNC.gov
