Durham has outlined in their 2011 strategic plan several goals to improving transportation:

-making regional plans for alternative transportation such as light rail, commuter rail, or high speed rail
-increasing the efficiency of Durham Transit and Triangle Transit through centralized management and planning
-evaluate “fare free” ridership to make public transportation more affordable

Visit their website for more information and keep your eyes out for changes in public transportation in the future!

Not only in a community development sense but also in an economic sense as cities and municipalities could hire workers to help at all levels of implementation and drive economic growth.

It’s great to see Durham is taking steps to become a sustainable community. Can’t wait to see what they come up with for transportation options!
