Key impact opportunities from the commission include:

Improving access to employment for low-income communities in Durham. There are multiple projects that are currently proposed with varying degrees of assistance that they would provide (including commuter rail and bus rapid transit).

Maximizing commitments from developers to improve local bike and pedestrian safety and access.

Public advocacy for walkability, bike infrastructure, improved public transportation, and reducing car dependence, all of which lead to healthier and safer communities.
