Recreation is for ALL!

This is the way, my friends. This is the way.

Speeding Slows You Down.

This morning, I joined @cf_birkhead, @MarkEzzell, & local law enforcement @DukeU to speak about the health impacts of impaired driving. Grateful for the many programs of the @NC_GHSP that are keeping our streets safe and reducing injuries & deaths.

People get so angry about this thing they don't understand: road users don't cover the costs of roads. Not even close.

The Highway Trust Fund constantly needs BILLIONS from general taxes to stay solvent. General taxes have nothing to do with how much a person uses public roads.

[NC_GHSP @NC_GHSP]

GHSP Director Mark Ezzell joined NC's Vision Zero communities, along with experts from @ITRE_NCSU, @hsrcinfo & @UNC_IPRC at the Vision Zero Leadership Institute at @UNC. The two-day meeting included expertise from Dr. Adam Goldstein, Dr. Anne Phillips and Angie Schmitt.

A recent article on the State bicycle and pedestrian funding limitation that makes it illegal for the State to match funds for stand alone bike and ped projects.
