Annual Meeting 2006

The Alliance fifth annual meeting was held on Wednesday, December 13, 2006, at the RBC Center. More than 175 supporters of regional mobility gathered to hear the first annual Alliance State of Mobility in the Triangle report. Congressman David Price, NCDOT Secretary Lyndo Tippett, and Raleigh/Durham area division engineer Wally Bowman offered their perspectives on the mobility challenges and opportunities facing our region in 2007.

At the Alliance's annual meeting on December 13, the organization presented three awards to the most significant mobility accomplishments for the region during 2006. For the first time, the Alliance presented an award for an enhancement to air service, recognizing RDU for the creation of the region's only non-stop flight to the west coast.
