Insight: Nearly all households in Fuquay- Varina have access to one or more vehicles for travel (98.2%), which creates significant demand for safeguarding, and likely improving through expansion, streets and highways in the planning area to keep vehicle movements safe and efficient. However, the percentage of work-from-home respondents to the U.S. Census Bureau survey nearly doubled compared to the same data collected for the 2035 Land Use Plan: 6.6% versus 11.6%. National surveys of home workers cite improved bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure as an indicator for a high quality- of-life, and investments in non- automobile travel modes in the community have the potential to shift some vehicle trips to non- vehicle trips in future years as the infrastructure is made available to support safe and efficient movements for walkers and bikers.

Insight: Generally speaking, about 12,300 workers commute into the planning area each day for their job, and 25,000 workers commute out of the planning area each day for their job. Workers leaving the planning area are traveling primarily to Raleigh (28%), Cary (12.7%), or Durham (6.9%). Congestion on NC Highways 55 and 401 during peak travel periods is influenced largely by the outflow of knowledge workers from Fuquay-Varina (and points south) on a regular basis. The distribution of workers traveling into the planning area for their job is more even, which reflects the distribution of a workforce available for more service-focused jobs that are dominate inside the planning area. The 2040 Land Use Plan is focused on bringing more knowledge-based jobs to the planning area, which could improve congestion on the local transportation system during peak periods of the day by shortening trip lengths and increasing opportunities to walk or bike from home to work.

the planning area, but largely leaving each day for their job, are significantly higher than workers that commute into the planning area from somewhere else on a daily basis. The 2040 Land Use Plan responds to this phenomenon with two initiatives: 1) increase the number of knowledge-based industries in the planning area to match with the local work force, and 2) consider policies for increased home choices and price points in the planning area that are affordable to workers that now must live outside the community to be sustainable.
