About Us
The Cape Fear
Breeze is a joint initiative of the City of Wilmington and
the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT).
Our purpose is to develop and promote alternative
transportation options that meet the needs of residents
and visitors throughout southeastern North Carolina. Our
goal is to improve or maintain the quality of life in our
community.
The Breeze is guided by the
Breeze Advisory Board
and Employer
Group and supported by staff.
Breeze Advisory Board
Program efforts are directed by the Cape Fear Breeze
Regional Transportation Demand Management Program Advisory
Board. This governing board, comprised of high–level
governmental and business leaders, NCDOT representatives,
and transportation providers, meets quarterly. View a list
of current
Advisory Board members.
Breeze Employer Group
The
Breeze Employer Group is a collaborative working committee
of representatives from area private and public sector
employers. Members share information and work to develop
and promote transportation alternatives that will benefit
their organizations and employees, as well as the
community.
Members meet
every six weeks to work on planning and implementation of
their work priorities.
Current work priorities include recruiting and peer
education, expansion of the web–based ridematching program
and support measures, expanded on–site information and
promotion of transportation alternatives, and development
of additional initiatives to address congested corridors
and peak commuting times. Members also provide regular
input to the Breeze Advisory Board.

Employer Group members.
