Energy:
Congestion Relief/Intermodal Transport Fund

Our Position: support
Bill Number: H148=S151
Sponsor: Reps Carney, Allen, Ross & McGee; Sen Richard Stevens
Legislative Session: 2009

Since the 1920’s, North Carolina has been known as the “Good Roads State.” It can and should become the “Good Transportation State” by increasing mobility, decreasing congestion and offering a robust transportation network to commuters. In North Carolina, transportation-related global warming emissions are the second largest source of emissions behind electricity generation. NC Sierra Club recommends passage of the "Congestion Relief/Intermodal Transport Fund" bill.
