Commuter Rail Proponents Say

What is happening? North Carolina leaders are supporting a proposed commuter rail that would connect Johnston, Wake and Durham counties (the North Carolina Triangle)

Why is this important? Supporters say the commuter train will be built within 1 mile of 350,000 jobs, and will take cars off the road reducing road congestion.

How will this be important? The reasons supporting commuter rail in North Carolina can be applied across the country.
