This groundbreaking program can become a model for cities around the country that are seeking to help residents restore their drivers licenses. Durham forgave $2.7M in traffic debt for 11,000 residents. The oldest fees dated back 30 years.

#Recycling construction debris is a perfect jumping off point for rethinking construction. How can we design buildings that are made with healthy materials that are made to be adapted over time and eventually taken apart and used again? #reuse #circulareconomy
Excited to hear discussion @durham_eab about a policy to require #recycling of construction debris in @CityofDurhamNC. No reason these resources should be buried in the ground when they can create jobs above ground. @PatrickByker
Update on #renewableenergy plan for @city of Durham @eabdurham. Path to 80% by 2030 for city ops through energy efficiency, fleet #electrification, rooftop #solar, and sourcing from utility scale projects. Emerging technology could help us get to 100% by 2050.
