CRTPO federal funding for local transportation projects
Alsobrooks reported CRTPO won $3 million+ for a regional safety program, the Chestnut Lane Connector should finish this year, and CRTPO reinstated support for the I-77 South toll lanes P3 on September 23 after Charlotte briefly rescinded its backing.
