RTA endorses City of Raleigh transportation bond
At our most recent RTA Steering Committee meeting, RTA unanimously endorsed the City of Raleigh’s $101.5 million transportation bond, which is currently on the ballot for consideration by City residents.
The announced referendum package includes several projects of interest to the regional business community, including construction of companion general purpose lanes along the future Southern BRT corridor, improvements to other roadways including Ebenezer Church and Trawick, more than 50 miles of new bikeways, as well as safety improvements across all modes of travel. This page also provides FAQs about the referendum.
This article in the Raleigh News&Observer provides additional information, including the reasons that there will not be an additional tax increase if the voters approve the referendum.
Voters have the opportunity to advance more than $100 million in multimodal infrastructure this fall, and early voting is underway now. This Wake County elections page has links to both early voting and election day voting information. RTA has endorsed and encourages support for the referendum.
Let’s get moving,
