Issues of air quality, education, transportation and land use transcend political boundaries, yet typically are addressed only at the local community level.

Triangle Tomorrow believes the region can be world class only if communities rally around a common vision and plan.

Our members meet annually to identify those issues that call for broad regional solutions. Task forces and standing committees examine these issues and recommend strategic actions for change.

Triangle Tomorrow's projects, programs and initiatives focus on the follow four areas:

• Air Quality - The importance of improving our region's air quality can't be overstated. Currently we exceed federal standards for ground-level ozone. If we fail to correct this, our non-attainment status will have serious and long-term economic repercussions. For more information on this issue, read Ground-Level Ozone and the Triangle's Economy. Triangle Tomorrow manages the following programs that address air quality in our region:
  • Triangle Air Awareness Program
  • Triangle Air Awareness Coalition
• Regional Competitiveness - We work with RTRP to implement leadership and quality of life action steps for the regional competitiveness plan, "Staying on Top: Winning the Job Wars of the Future."
• Quality of Life Benchmarking - Triangle Tomorrow periodically undertakes projects that measure and report on non-economic factors that affect the region's quality of life and competitiveness, such as health, housing, schools and child safety.
• Land Use - We work to promote growth and development that are environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.
• Educational Leadership - researching and developing leadership models for public education
