Overview
Our current transportation system has many of us stuck endlessly
waiting in traffic, all the while spewing air pollution and consuming
billions of barrels of overseas oil. But our government spends nine
times more on highway projects than it does on public transportation,
even as transit ridership nationwide is at an all-time high.
Light
rail, clean bus systems, and other public transit should play a greater
part in America’s transportation future. Efficient public
transportation systems reduce the number of cars on the road and
increase our options for getting around.
We’re working for
more and better transit by encouraging public support for new projects
and improved service and asking Congress to invest in solving long-term
transportation problems by funding public transportation.
