A home run for RDU, RTA, and our region’s economy

Today marks the achievement of RTA’s highest priority for enhancing domestic air service from RDU Airport:  United Airlines will begin nonstop service from RDU to San Francisco (SFO) in August 2012.  The creation of a new nonstop flight from RDU to Silicon Valley removes a primary obstacle to expanded business investment and strengthens our region’s ability to attract new companies.

A new “addition” to our regional freeway network

In early February 2012 the NC Department of Transportation raised the speed limit on the Wade Avenue Extension freeway between the I-440 and I-40 interchange areas in west Raleigh from 55 MPH to 60 MPH.
