New CDOT study shows Charlotteans want transportation choices!

It's that time we've all been waiting for: the release of CDOT's biennial 2016 Transportation Survey! 406 residents were asked their opinions on driving conditions, possible solutions and funding sources, priorities, safety, and travel for pedestrians and cyclists.

Here are some highlights:

• 86% want to see roads designed for everyone, not just those who drive cars.
• 79% think the city or state should provide alternative modes of transportation to ease congestion.
• 63.5% would like to drive less in Charlotte.

Click here to read more interesting stats from the report and to learn what we're doing this year to help make these desires for better bicycling, walking, and transit a reality for Charlotteans!
