Friends of Transit

@wakeupwake @CAFTrans @TriangleAARP are excited to present Regional Investments for Regional Growth on April 7th. Vernice Miller-Travis will talk about the intersection of environmental justice and good climate policy in a regional transit network. RSVP: bit.ly/3LcMHr4

We work to provide for our families and ourselves the best possible future. Rapid regional transit means being able to accept that better paying job and still being home for dinner.

We really enjoyed learning about what regional transit looks like and how it could impact people's lives this morning. We'll post the video soon!

You know you're doing something right when you're on a panel with @wmata and @NewOrleansRTA!

With your support we passed the transit plan. Help make sure the priorities are being met and we are working as quickly as financially possible. Sign up to speak at the virtual public hearing on March 17th.

Congratulations to @clarknexsen & @GoRaleighNC for winning the @AIA_NC Honor Award for the red shelter!

We just ran a great event on the benefits and opportunities for some employers to create commuter incentives. This is a good chance to learn how to put them into place. Check it out!
