Money needed for transportation projects.

Experts in North Carolina expressed concerns about the amount of funding for current and future transportation projects. Stan Polanis, Winston-Salem's transportation director, said that without proper funding, the region in North Carolina turn into another Los Angeles. These transportation plans also take time to enact. Projects may not be finished until 20 years after being started. If these projects aren't finished in due time, they can be congested as soon as they open according to Jim Westmoreland, Greensboro's transportation director. Rail and bus services are also being looked at as a way to battle congestion.
