The NC 54 corridor is a gateway for our region, with both local and regional importance. The NC 54-I40 interchange has consistently ranked as the top congested location in the region. Despite growing congestion within the corridor, this area continues to be attractive leading to on-going development pressures within the corridor. This development pressure coupled with growing mobility issues highlight the need to develop short and long-range land use and transportation strategies that will assist the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO), the City of Durham, Durham County, and the Town of Chapel Hill in shaping the growth within this corridor.

How do i get involved?
