931	Tara Smith	Capital Group Sierra Club
930	James Belt
929	Julie Poovey		5th generation raleigh-ite. We can still keep our town community and have the mass transit of a city. Our leaders need to realize they can not stick thier heads in the sand and hope Raleigh will go back to the 60\'s.
928	Mary M. Martorella		This bill needs to go forward. It will be good for the economy, good for the environment and good for development. The Senate should not be holding this bill up.
927	Beau Mills		A sustainable and livable urban region must have an effective public transportation system - let\'s get on with it!

903	David Strevel	President, Strevel Consulting, Raleigh
902	CRAIG ELLIS		The city of Charlotte example serves as a reminder of proactive public support for mass transit. If the system is clean, reliable and convenient, people will use it. The cost benefit analysis should include all intangible benefits as well.
901	Andrew Bruch		Providing widespread, reliable public transit is essential as more and more people move to the Triangle. As part of the effort, we need to provide developer incentives to create denser developments at transit hubs.
900	Ezekiel-Kevin Michael Scott

866	Ethan Barger		We need to have a regional transit system in the form of rail to support our growing area or risk becoming the next Atlanta, GA.
865	Neville Devlaliwalla
864	Eileen L. Appolone	City of Raleigh	I started work at the water treatment plant 3 years ago and traffic on Falls of Neuse Rd has gotten much worse in that short span of time. Morning and afternoon commutes are bogged down in heavy traffic, which is bad for air quality & quality of life

835	Antoine A. Ponton
834	Tom Simon
833	Tony Mendez	Regional IT Mgr. KlingStubbins, Raleigh NC	Coming from an a city (NYC) that has mass rapid transit and noting the commute times to Raleigh - I see a massive deficiency in our ability to grow the area while keeping traffic congestion to a minimum. We should devote more effort to this.
832	Patricia B Kasdorf
831	Jay Kim Kasdorf	Architect Intern	Raleigh is 30 years behind the curve now. We must make investments in light rail and it must go to the airport and outlying communities. This area is nationally recognized as a great place to live and work, but traffic growth threatens us all.

783	Anthony Pergolotti
782	Charles E R Drake
781	Wayne Spencer	Citizen	Intercity and intracity rail are necessary for the sustained growth and well being for the entire Triangle-Triad area and beyond. I would like to see the proposed rail link from Richmond to Charlotte become a reality with light rail feeders.

739	Taruna Tayal
738	Rickie White, Jr.		I ride TTA buses often but feel that better coordinated and more frequent mass transit would allow me to use transit more often and get my car off the road for others who need it more.
737	Carolyn Argentati
736	Chris Ion
735	Khaner Walker
734	Lyle Adley-Warrick		I have reviewed the transportation component of the Raleigh 2030 comprehensive plan and I\'m in basic agreement with it, BUT I believe the timetable for implementation of certain components (particularly light rail)should be accelerated.
733	Michele Bergen		Currently, a trip from Carrboro to my school in north Raleigh takes less than an hour by car and almost three hours by bus. So my choice is to commute alone for two hours or to travel on public transportation for six hours. Is this really an option?
732	Ruth Sappie
731	Denise Whitley	Interior Designer, Interior Concepts	We definitely need alternative transit, especially with the continouus growth in the triangle.

713	Carl D. Dahle		We need more ways to get from here to there. Small bus or even vans.Bike lanes and bike racks could be a good start.
712	Sally Buckner		A modern metropolitan area needs public transportation for all citizens, but especially for the elderly, the mobility-impaired, and the poor. It will also help our environment to have fewer cars on the road.
711	Alison Stephens
710	April Mills		Public Transportation will build future growth for all communities!
709	Pickett M. Guthrie
708	Lynne S Cotter	Office Manager, Burger King	With the Triangle leading as one of the best places to live and work along with top leading medical and research fields in the industry, Raleigh should become proactive in addressing the transportation issues of this fast growing area.

659	Boz Zellinger
658	Michael McKay, AIA, CSI		We\'ve reached the tipping point where, without coordinated urban and regional mass transit, our growth will stop and we will be paralyzed. Look at cities like London, Munich, New York - without mass transit they would not be able to function.

605	Michael Hogan		This should be one of our highest priorities! I would also like to ensure that we will have the facility to transport bicycles, in order that we can use them at our destination, as often times our ultimate destination is not close to the terminus.
604	Erwin Trager	Citizen
603	elbert sult	owner, Sult Architecture	Transit in an urban area of this size ought to be available so that anyone who needs it can use it. Its should not be absolutely necessary to own a car.

579	Emily Hurst	Instructional Services Librarian	Working two jobs (one in Chapel Hill) the other in Raleigh was a wonderful experience but a regional rail system would have greatly improved my commute. Reducing traffic on I40 will improve safety and the rush hour work commute.
578	Danica Cullinan	Library Associate, NCSU	I utilize and appreciate CAT and TTA for my commute. However, it is clear that the Triangle has grown (and continues to grow) at a rate that requires a comprehensive plan with creative solutions in order to serve the needs of its citizens.

490	Garold Smith	Partner, Springboard Eydo Communications	In order for this initiative to be accepted, it MUST involve the public.

153	Richard Burnett		We need better transit!!!
152	Harriss Ganey		If I had a proper route available, I would take public transit at least to and from work, if not more. As it is, the only available public transit also requires me to walk about 2 miles along paths that do not even have sidewalks.
151	Jamie Ramsey
150	Jason M. Sullivan		We've waited far too long for this. It's time to get started.
149	Gloria Harrison		Building infrastructure such as mass transit trains is good for citizens, the community and the economy. A new deal that works and is not charity.
148	Daniel B. Lee
147	Anthony T. Cirillo		I support this statement if transit in "The Triangle" is a "True" Light Rail System and has easy axcess to urban growth and regional communities (ie Brier Creek, Wake Forest, RDU, RBC Center (Future Downtown RBC Center) Wake Forest, etc.)
146	Blair Pollock		As a rapidly growing area of the country with one of the highest vehicle miles travelled per capita of any region, little transit infrastructure, a sprawling growth pattern and consistent exceeding of the air quality standard for ozone, we must act!

135	Jeanne Lagas	Special Education Teacher	I support mass transit options for myself and for the many people who cannot drive. I would LOVE to be able to utilize the CAT bus service but it would take well over an hour to go the 6 miles to my school.
134	Abra Carroll Nardo	Psychologist, Orenstein Solutions	A city isn't really metropolitan without good transit.
133	Jake Kitchener		Please also increase incentives for cyclists and make cycling "easier" in the Triangle area with more racks and bike lanes. Increase commuter awareness of cyclists.
132	Jill Turner		Add more buses and run complete routes every 15 - 20 minutes through to 1:00. Enhance customer services

117	Jessica Kemp	State of NC employee, DENR	For the past 4 months I have relied on the TTA bus system to get from Durham to work in Raleigh 3 times a week. The bus is convenient and I enjoy riding it. Often it's standing room only because there are so many patrons, please add more buses.
116	Tracy Morris
115	Erin Bergstrom		I strongly support an enhanced transit system. It is crucial for the well-being of those in our community who not have their own transportation.

84	Linda Kay McCarley	WakeUP Wake County	Pay now or pay later. It always costs more to pay later. If you've lived in a major urban area, you know that good mass transit is essential Some argue the Triangle lacks sufficient density to support mass transit. But why wait until gridlock?

73	Maurice Reece
72	Katharine Naujoks		One comment I hear from folks visiting this city is the lack of transportation options. As we grow larger and wish to attract visitors/residents, it is imperative that adequate planning for growth is addressed through a transportation infrastructure

70	Ralph Recchie
69	Mike Griswold		The new Charlotte rail transit system has been of tremendous economic benefit to the city. I hope the Wake Co. commissioners, and Senators Dole and Burr, are reconsidering their opposition to light rail for the Triangle.
68	Randolph Pritchard
67	John Holmgren	retired	I am particularly interested in improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists. Given the number of bicyclists in the area, road conditions are much too unsafe at present.

OUR STATEMENT OF SUPPORT:

"The Capital Area Friends of Transit recognize that transit is essential to maintain a high quality of life for all by providing convenient, accessible and affordable transportation choices that improve job and economic growth, and protect the environment.

"We support a comprehensive regional transit system, including expanded bus services, fixed rail corridors and local circulators, which creates efficient travel options and supports sustainable land use patterns that will help our metropolitan area continue to grow and prosper.

"We support implementation of the recommended vision of the Special Transit Advisory Committee (STAC) and urge development of specific, local plans.  We call for increased transit funding from the State of North Carolina and the federal government and support using a fair mixture of local funding sources to pay for the transit system.

"The Capital Area Friends of Transit will encourage the public to support a regional transit plan consistent with the values expressed above."
