Abstract:
The Triangle Transit Authority (TTA) is looking to implement an efficient public transportation system in the Triangle area. Options include building a rail system or transportation by bus. The main problem is that TTA is unfunded and politicians can’t agree on how to fund it or what to do about the transportation problem.

Abstract:
The Triangle is growing apart, separated by geography, politics, transit and identity. Urban planning experts say that the metro area is rated among the worst in the nation due to sprawl and a lack of regional mass transit. Residents say they now view the area as a set of distinct places and it was not always that way. The local governments of Raleigh and Durham are competing with each other, rather than working together to make the area better for citizens. The success of the Triangle region could grow if local officials were willing to work together and the problems created from growing apart are detailed.

Abstract:
A new plan for rail transit in the Triangle is experiencing some difficulties. The old plan for light-rail transit between Raleigh and Durham has been shelved. Currently, each county in the Triangle area is coming up with their own plan for light rail transit. Raleigh officials believe light-rail between Raleigh and Durham does not make sense, but Durham Mayor Bill Bell believes that it does. Local leaders talk about their plans and how the rail system will be funded.
