Take Action: Keep Transit Rolling

Over the last 80 years, North Carolina’s transportation policy has overwhelmingly focused on building roads - shortchanging funds for freight and passenger rail, bikes, and public transit. Today, while NC spends roughly $4 billion on transportation each year, less than 3% goes to transit. We need new, efficient transportation options, including rail and public transit.

H148, passed by the NC House by a wide margin earlier this year, would set up a state fund to invest in rail and public transit, and would authorize local governments to raise funds to match the state monies. Please send a message by clicking here & get public transit moving in NC!

Take action now!
