Abstract:

With the population rising in the Research Triangle Metropolitan Area, mass transit is a must. However, feuding between the Triangle Transit Authority and the Department of Transportation is keeping a rail system from becoming a reality. One area of dispute is the number of track miles to be moved. TTA says the DOT's mileage request would double project cost and add years to the completion date. Unless the two can agree, the region must seek other solutions to its traffic problems.
