Our Top Priority

It's Time For More Public Transportation

For too long, we've thrown money at "roads and bridges to nowhere" rather than making smart investments in public transportation. Investing in high-speed rail, rapid bus systems and other public transit will create more jobs and long-term economic benefits than money spent building new roads. Public transportation improvements will also reduce our dependence on oil, relieve traffic congestion and cut global warming. It's time to prioritize public transportation.
