Transportation issues rise to the surface
Now that our Annual Retreat is over, I'm back to my regular blog posts! I wanted to let folks know about a new page on our website that focuses on transportation issues. The page includes a recap of the last major transportation reforms in North Carolina, information about our current situation, what's on the horizon for the remainder of 2008 and 2009, as well as links for more information. Also, learn more about NC TRAM and the five principles that we think should guide NC in building a new transportation future.
While you're there, send an email to your legislator in support of a new sustainable vision for transportation in North Carolina!
Let's not become Atlanta folks
We have a short window of opportunity to make a difference on transportation. Just look at Atlanta to see how quickly a region can go from being a desirable, economically competitive place to live to being a place that has a reputation for terrible traffic congestion (as well as a shrinking water supply). Businesses look at these quality of life issues very closely when they decide whether to stay and/or relocate. Let's make sure North Carolina makes smart transportation decisions that invest in our current roads as well as providing alternative options. Thanks for the opportunity to take action on this issue.
