Summary of Specifications:
The City of Jacksonville, North Carolina, began a transit demonstration project in 2001 called the Loop and changed to the current operations of Jacksonville Transit in November 2007. Jacksonville Transit is a municipal transit system providing local fixed-route bus service within the City of Jacksonville and parts of Onslow County as well as express bus service between the City of Jacksonville and the adjacent military installations (Camp Lejeune, Camp Johnson, Camp Geiger and New River Air Station). Since that time, ridership has steadily increased which has allowed thousands to get to work, reach places to shop, get to places to learn and go where they needed to travel. The current Jacksonville Transit system consists of 8 buses, 80 of stops, and 25 of employees. As the next phase of this system, the City of Jacksonville is planning to construct a facility that will serve as the primary connection point for multiple modes of transportation. This facility will be the main hub for the Jacksonville Transit system and a transfer station between various methods of transportation.
