Wake County Commissioners: Support more Transit!
I support the Wake County Transit Plan that doubles bus service, creates commuter rail, and initiates light rail. I respectfully request the Wake Board of Commissioners move forward with review and approval of this plan right away. I also request that the Wake Board of Commissioners give Wake County citizens the opportunity to vote on a half-cent sales tax referendum to fund the multi-modal transit plan.
Why is this important?
The population of Wake County is likely to double over the next 20 years, and traffic congestion will continue to get worse and worse. The Wake County Transit Plan doubles bus service, creates commuter rail, and initiates light rail. Durham and Orange County have already passed a similar plan. Without action, Wake County risks being left behind. The Wake Board of Commissioners has the power to move forward with review and approval of this plan right away. Help us build support for more transit in Wake County.
