NC Go! recently released a report that reflects a compilation of several studies issued recently regarding highway safety and the costs of poor roads, bridges and traffic congestion. Additional information from the NC Department of Transportation on road and bridge conditions and recovery funds provides further context for the discussion on the current status of transportation in North Carolina.
At the conclusion of the report they provide several options available to the state in planning to meet future revenue needs. NC Go! does not favor any single plan over another, but simply suggests all options be considered and that any solution be equitable in gauging how each user pays for their share of highway, bridge and public transportation consumption.
