Inequitable transportation is keeping communities of color from accessing life-saving services during the pandemic. We must shape our infrastructure to serve every American.

Congrats @NCDOT! @FTA_DOT awards the Triangle area $900,000 for Transit-Oriented Development planning along the future S-Line. @RaleighGov won a grant last year for TOD planning along the BRT route (WakeUP helped to write that grant).
NCDOT has received a grant to help Triangle communities plan for passenger rail stations along the S-Line rail corridor from VA to SC.

WakeUP supports the continued growth of our transportation network and sees expanded mobility options as a direct line to economic growth and vitality. We urge the #NCGA to not cut transportation funds proposed in House Bill 77. Please see our letter.

From our Associate Director @NathanSpencer: As a member of the Raleigh Transit Authority I wanted to know what protections are being provided to drivers when buses are used to transport police tactical teams to the front lines of protests. You can read my letter here.

Our bus operators are essential workers. Annette states, “If the transportation stops, then there will be people who can’t get around.” Thank you, Annette and all of the @GoRaleighNC operators for your continued hard work and perseverance.
