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 modern metro service will also create more permanent jobs and long-term economic benefits than money spent building new roads. With higher gas prices and a suffering economy, it's time to prioritize public transportation.
