Let’s Get Parking Reform Across the Finish Line!

We’re excited to share that House Bill 369, which would remove mandatory minimum parking requirements statewide, is on the move! If you’ve followed this legislation recently or attended any of our events across the region this spring focused on why MountainTrue supports this bill, you know that we believe this reform will be good for both improving water quality and also creating more affordable housing options on small lots in cities and towns.

Good news: the bill has moved out of the Senate Rules committee and has advanced to the State and Local Government committee, which means it is one critical step closer to the Senate floor. Now we’re excited to provide an easy way for you to contact your state Senator – in particular, Senator Kevin Corbin who represents much of WNC and serves on the State and Local Government committee – to ask them to please support HB 369 when it comes up for a vote next. Please use our form below to send a message to your NC Senator to encourage them to support this important policy reform:
