Show Notes

A new report from TRIP, a national transportation research nonprofit based in Washington, DC, highlights the critical need for additional state and federal transportation investment to improve North Carolina's roads and bridges. The report emphasizes that rising inflation is eroding purchasing power, necessitating further investment to complete essential projects. It also includes regional breakdowns for the Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, Triad, and Wilmington urban areas. Gary Salamido, the President of the NC Chamber, joined Jeff Hamlin on the WPTF Afternoon News to discuss the implications of the TRIP plan and the future of North Carolina's transportation infrastructure.
