The last opportunities for Chatham County residences to have input in the proposed long-range regional transportation alternatives are quickly approaching. The plan includes options for future transportation projects, including highways, bus transit, light rail, bicycles, pedestrian traffic and other transportation activity that would be implemented through the year 2035.
The plan was developed by the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), which includes a portion of Chatham County.
