WakeUp Wake County Update


SPEAK UP FOR TRANSIT TODAY!

Refer Friends to WakeUP Contest

Dear Friends,  

Public transportation will improve the quality of life for all of us in Wake County.  It is that simple.  
WakeUP Wake County continues to advocate for a bold, effective transit plan of expanded bus and commuter and light rail that brings our county together.  Given a projected DOUBLING of Wake's population, we must get a better transit system in place as soon as possible, or we'll experience constant traffic jams and declining air quality. But it won't happen unless we SPEAK UP for transit! 
We need your help to make public transit a priority in Wake County!  Please take the following three steps: 
(1)    Sign the Capital Area Friends of Transit (CAFT) petition to let your elected officials know you support a transit plan that includes rail and bus.  
(2)    Contact your local mayor and county commissioners and ask them to support holding a referendum for a half cent sales tax to pay for the transit system.
(3)    Donate to WakeUP Wake County so that we can continue our leadership role running CAFT and educating the public about the benefits of public transit in the Triangle.
Remember, we are fighting for a high QUALITY OF LIFE for us all in Wake County.  We are working for you!
