Building Public Support Through the Capital Area Friends of Transit

Following release of the Special Transportation Advisory Committee recommendations, WakeUP Wake County invited community organizations, businesses, and civic leaders to create an alliance to advocate and educate for the new transit plan.  In August 2008, the Capital Area Friends of Transit (CAFT) was launched, and now consists of 35 local and state public interest groups, 100 civic leaders, and almost 1000 citizens. Go to the Capital Area Friends of Transit website to sign the petition in support of transit.  Help us build public support and political will in Wake County and the Capital area for a forward-looking transit plan that is convenient, accessible and affordable by encouraging your friends to sign on too.  Then contact your legislators and let them know why transit is important to you! If you support transit, join CAFT now! You can also find CAFT on Facebook - join our Cause or become a member of our Group.
