Here is a brief weekly update from the RTA business coalition – the voice of the regional business community on transportation.

Dedicating Transportation Funds For Transportation Purposes 

This week’s blog reiterates the important point of keeping transportation dollars for transportation projects. This remains one of RTA’s top priorities, as we look to advance potential legislation that would dedicate automotive-related sales tax revenue for highway projects in North Carolina.

Reminder:  RTA federal funding letter writing campaign for new, longer RDU primary runway

RTA’s highest organizational priority continues to be sustainable funding for RDU Airport. Please assist your fellow RTA members in our 2022 focus on securing significant federal funding to replace, relocate, and lengthen RDU’s primary runway. We are seeking letters of support from RTA member companies and every letter makes a difference. Thank you to every RTA member company who has submitted a support letter to the Federal Aviation Administration. Contact me or Jacob with any questions.

Thank you for your ongoing dedication to regional business leadership on mobility.

Let’s get moving,

Joe
RTA Executive Director
