Having PTSD to when @NCHouseSpeaker said immediately after going out of their way to help kill #DOLRT, that the money should be spent on widening I-40 instead😬
One half of all trips taken on public transportation are to or from work. Public transportation is getting people to work, and increasing investment in public transportation will allow people to access even more job opportunities. #MovingAmericaForward
“Great communities invest in great infrastructure.”
High capacity #transit makes too much sense not to eventually come to the #DOLRT corridor.
The longer we wait, the more expensive it gets. Meanwhile, sustainable #EconomicDev and #SocialJustice suffer.
I agree with the caution expressed from Durham after the failure of #DOLRT. We need to make sure everyone is on-board before we start large scale studies. The larger infrastructure issues will be on the Durham end as well with their multiple at-grade crossings in the downtown.
Glad to see new @movesafedurham Director Sean Egan and County Commissioner @BrendaHowerton call for better public engagement re: commuter rail. IMO, the #DOLRT needed more community support earlier in the process. Now is the time for that engagement for commuter rail.
GoTriangle estimates a transit system from Garner through Raleigh to Durham could carry 7,500 to 10,000 passengers per day. https://t.co/q4eOHU0hZ6
Former mayor Howard Lee, who as mayor initiated @chtransit 45 years ago, envisions regional transit and regrets the demise of #DOLRT.
What role did the NC Railroad play in killing light rail? Finding out could depend on whether the railroad is subject to public records law. https://t.co/gHRsifJLwV #DOLRT #lightrail
#RT @NC54transit: End of Durham-Orange light rail could help Chapel Hill bus-rapid transit line - https://t.co/HeES2rRuGM #BRTworks #LightRailFails #DOLRT
It's not only important that lower-wage workers have equal access to job-rich, dense, walkable core neighborhoods, equity demands they should have greater access to those neighborhoods. https://t.co/lUqc1J6aQJ
Had fun taping @TheDirtFM today to discuss NC transportation policy with @GradyMcCallie of @NCConservation (Although wish I could have hopped on light rail to @NCCU).
Tune in to @WNCU at 5pm on Sunday to hear thoughts about Complete 540, land use, #DOLRT and more.
While I guess it is technically true that in the short term the loss of #DOLRT does directly affect Wake County transit $, the loss of regional connectivity affects us all. It makes our region less sustainable and less economically competitive.
No county or town is an island.
At the @NextFwd sustainable #transit meeting: Allie Thomas, @damonseils, & @mmarcoplos discuss #SustainableCommunities in the post #DOLRT era. We in #OrangeCountyNC can’t afford to pull back away from the rest of the #Triangle. We sustain or #sprawl as a region.
How @DukeU killing of #DOLRT harms #Durham, #equity #housing and people who just want to work for a living. @DukeChronicle - not to mention our #climate #climatechange
If you care about criminal justice reform and/or public transit (and/or Duke!), you should check out my latest
I wrote on various reforms & projects in Durham that are, or could have, helped the huge number of people whose driver's licenses are suspended: https://t.co/qFGaBrhqwf
@GoSallyGreene has said “Without DOLRT, though, we may be headed for a future in which the major population centers of Orange County are essentially cut off from the rest of the Triangle” #DOLRT

"There’s no shame in #DOLRT project’s failure. But there is cause for concern about what its demise says about the strength of the state’s and region’s commitment to mass transit and how a lack of transit options might shape, constrain Triangle’s future." https://t.co/OPS2aoKelc
