North Carolina's Strategic Transportation Corridors
form the core network of multimodal passageways.
These 25 corridors move large volumes of people and freight across the
regions of the state and to key markets outside the state.
The transportation facilities and services within
the corridors connect centers of economic activity of
statewide and regional significance. Preserving the physical condition of these facilities and the quality of the service they provide supports North Carolina’s goals for economic development and will guide
long-term planning at statewide, regional and corridor levels.
These
strategic corridors are considered the state’s highest priority when
analyzed within the framework of regional or local transportation plans.
Vision
The N.C. Department of Transportation's vision is
for North Carolina to have an identified network of high-priority
transportation corridors that integrate all modes and connect statewide
and regional transportation-dependent activity centers, to enhance
economic development, to promote highly reliable and efficient mobility
and accessibility,
and to support good decision-making.
