Abstract:
According to the Federal Highway Administration and the Department of Energy, states can help citizens save gas and money by synchronizing traffic signals. This is a more efficient system to keep a maximum amount of traffic flowing. Another big gas saver is the law allowing right turns on red, now legal in every state.

Abstract:
At last week's public hearing, dozens of mostly white residents effusively praised Wake County's transit plan.

Abstract:
The proposed Durham-Orange County Light Rail is a three-decade effort in the Triangle. While many city officials are in favor of the system, there are a number of questions about the wisdom of the current plan, how it will be funded, and whether it will serve the people who need it. An enhanced busing system could be a more effective, flexible, and cheaper option.

Abstract:
The article describes the process of creating a mass transit system within the Triangle area connecting Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, the three major universities, and the airport. The system will run buses on routes through the Triangle area and debate has started over the need or lack thereof for a rail system to connect the Triangle. The article also explores the history of the transit movement, the people who opposed it, and how the system will be paid for through a vehicle registration tax.

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.
