-There has been formed by the NC Chamber - called Destination 2030-The Road to a Stronger Transportation Future. This group's mission is to work to modernize the way we fund NC's transportation network. NCDOT is also working on this via a commission they formed called the NC FIRST Commission. Their new funding recommendations will be submitted to the NC General Assembly in January. This issue is going to be very challenging but it is one that is needed. SAS, a world-renowned data company based in Cary, NC, created a fantastic new tool for the NC FIRST Commission, called CRAFTS which allows citizens to play around with different funding modes and see what type of revenue is or is not generated and then share the ones they like the best. This is a very important issue for real estate and economic development as the transportation network is one of the top three things companies look to when deciding on a location. Also, it's important for road safety, reliable commerce, getting kids safely to schools and getting in and out of your neighborhood in a safe and secure manner. Take a look at CRAFTS.
