Raleigh has started construction on the first of four Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lines, the New Bern BRT. It aims to reduce car dependency, promote affordability and combat climate change through a proposed Transit Overlay District (TOD). If up-zoning along the BRT corridor is not implemented, it could result in displacement and increased pressure on existing infrastructure. Up-zoning could diversify housing options, reduce sprawl, and decrease climate change impacts.
