Transit and Traffic Planning

car.png

The high cost of traffic infrastructure projects are often a barrier to improvement. Government bureaucracy, overhead, regulation and in-efficient operational strategy all contribute to this challenge. With creative data-driven approaches to problem solving, we can help prevent future traffic fatalities and congestion events in our city.

Roads like Avent Ferry, Western Boulevard, Hillsborough Street, Wade Avenue, Glenwood Avenue, and Tryon Road are high priority areas that require prompt attention.

Recent stories like that of NC State professor Dr. Natalia Duque-Wilckens emphasizes the need for immediate action in Raleigh District D. (NC State professor killed in accident)

​​

  • Provide our police with the resources to support aggressive traffic enforcement in problematic areas
  • Accelerate Raleigh's Vision Zero plan (2045 if far too long to wait)
  • Review the efficacy Raleigh's existing traffic intersection AI and computer vision pilot project

  • Perform follow-up reviews of the city's light-commuter rail assessment

  • Support our city workers serving the public in transit and traffic departments (GoRaleigh & Raleigh Department of Transportation)

  • Improve Lenovo Center event planning with NC State Fair planning to prevent future concert traffic grid-locks

  • Engage NC State and Meredith College on-boarding teams to support college student bicycle, pedestrian and automobile safety awareness


 

  • 2025 - 41 Traffic related fatalities
