Legislative Priorities
Project Delivery
In 2003, NC Go! called for the General Assembly to fund an outside
consultant’s study to examine current operations and make recommendations
for improvement in TIP project delivery. Last year, after the release
of the report, NC Go! released its targeted recommendations to
improve project delivery and urged the state to adopt them as priorities.
NC Go! will continue to advocate for implementation of these
recommendations.
Local Options
NC Go! believes local options are an important part of believes
local options are an important part of comprehensive transportation policy.
NC Go! will support legislation allowing local governments to
bring local option funding proposals to a vote.
Highway Trust Fund
The cash balances of the Highway Trust Fund are now dangerously low. As
a result, NCDOT has announced plans to postpone $600 million in highway
spending. NC Go! supports legislation to end transfers from the
Highway Trust Fund to the General Fund and the spending of transportation
funds for other purposes.
New Revenue Options
NC Go! will be an advocate for needed funding solutions. NC
Go! will continue to research new sources of transportation revenue
and distribute information about them to the N.C. General Assembly and
public.
