Dear [your colleague’s first name],
We all know that transportation projects can take forever.
I would like to connect you with a business leadership group that we have been active in for several years, whose entire focus is to ensure that these vital priorities take “less forever”.
RTA — the Regional Transportation Alliance — drives the consensus needed to create faster results, on key projects ranging from freeways to rapid transit to RDU Airport.
Accomplishments of the group include successful lobbying for the advancement of the 540 turnpike and extension, I-40 widening, regional BRT rapid transit, RDU runway infrastructure, and the I-885 connector.
RTA members want to see action, and the business community’s unified voice on transportation provides the focus, urgency, and strength to move the needle. RTA is also where we and other members gain insight at a regional, strategic level.
We need you to be at the table. Joining the RTA Regional Leadership Team — anywhere from $5k to $25k per year – gets you that. The details of all levels and benefits are here, along with our current membership roster.
I would be pleased to speak with you about our success with RTA and the essential relationships and results we have seen. I can also connect you with RTA’s executive director Joe Milazzo or RTA membership operations coordinator Jacob Rigg.
I hope you will join us. This region’s growth is not stopping, and we need your help and leadership.
“Let’s get moving”,
[Your Name]
