INC NEWS - please send short email to support transit in the Triangle

[John Schelp]

folks,

On Tuesday, March 7, Raleigh Council Member Philip
Isley will introduce a resolution to redirect funding
from TTA and limit your transit options in the
Triangle.

Now is the time to help shape the future of
transportation in the Triangle.

Please contact the Raleigh Council members. You can
cut and paste these addresses into your "TO" box...

Charles.Meeker at ci.raleigh.nc.us, tfcraven at nc.rr.com,
Jessie.Taliaferro at ci.raleigh.nc.us,
James.West at ci.raleigh.nc.us,
Thomas.Crowder at ci.raleigh.nc.us,
pisley at boyceisley.com, Joyce.Kekas at ci.raleigh.nc.us,
Russ.Stephenson at ci.raleigh.nc.us, bwatu at yahoo.com

In your message you could say something like...

"Transit is important for the future of the Triangle.
Please vote FOR transit -- and AGAINST the Isley
resolution."

Background:

Passage of the Isley Resolution could result in North
Carolina gas tax dollars going to transit projects in
other states while our traffic congestion and air
quality challenges grow at alarming rates.

As a transit supporter, you know that the Triangle
region has a long-term traffic and mobility problem. 
TTA is committed to plan, implement and promote
transportation solutions to meet the needs of the
growing region and maintain a high quality of life for
Triangle residents.  These solutions include regional
bus service, vanpool, carpool and regional rail.

Act now to protect your current services and to keep
the Triangle moving forward.

Thank you.
