Support for Regional Rail

Over ten years ago, the Triangle Transit Authority predicted that the Triangle will experience transportation problems that will “affect its livability and mobility, including a loss of community identity and open spaces, less efficient and high-cost transit services, increasing highway congestion and a lack of alternative transportation choices”.

Now that the Triangle has a population of 1.2 million people, an increase of 39% from 1990 to 2000, we cannot say that the TTA didn’t tell us so. Our community has an opportunity to be more mobile for more people. We also believe the citizenry has the responsibility for protecting the environment. The Durham People's Alliance strongly supports TTA’s efforts in bringing regional rail to the Triangle.
