A lack of affordable housing near transit services has been a perennial issue for Chapel Hill residents who are not U.S. citizens, especially during this time where transportation is necessary to access basic resources. While the affordable housing bond helps provide greater access to public transport, direct expansion of the public transport system would be a boon for underserved non-citizen residents who contribute to our community. It is our community’s responsibility to continue to understand the needs of all residents and provide fundamental access to resources through expansion of public transportation and housing — two fundamentally linked challenges for Chapel Hill.
