区域交通联盟背书罗利1.015亿美元交通债券 11月3日付诸公投
位于北卡罗来纳州韦克县的罗利，区域交通联盟（Regional Transportation Alliance，RTA）在其10月23日的会员简报中宣布，联盟指导委员会一致通过，背书罗利市1.015亿美元交通债券公投。
该债券已列入11月3日选票，与另一项金额相同的1.015亿美元住房债券分开表决，两项合计2.03亿美元。市政府表示，依其「稳定状态」债务安排，这笔借款无需提高房产税率即可偿还。
交通债券的项目包括：未来南部快速公交（BRT）走廊配套普通车道建设、Ebenezer Church 与 Trawick 等道路改善、新建50多英里自行车道，以及覆盖各种出行方式的安全改善。RTA 是代表区域商界发声的交通组织，其执行主任 Joe Milazzo 二世在简报中呼吁选民了解公投内容；罗利的提前投票已经开始。

Regional Transportation Alliance Endorses Raleigh's $101.5 Million Transportation Bond
The Regional Transportation Alliance (RTA), the Raleigh area's business-backed transportation group in Wake County, North Carolina, announced in its October 23 member briefing that its steering committee has unanimously endorsed the City of Raleigh's $101.5 million transportation bond referendum.
The bond appears on the November 3 ballot alongside a separate $101.5 million housing bond, for a combined $203 million. The city says that under its "steady state" debt plan, the borrowing can be repaid without raising the property tax rate.
Transportation bond projects include companion general-purpose lanes along the future Southern BRT corridor, improvements to roads including Ebenezer Church and Trawick, more than 50 miles of new bikeways, and safety improvements across all travel modes. RTA executive director Joe Milazzo II urged voters to study the referendum; early voting is already under way in Raleigh.
