Abstract:

Public transit demand has been increasing, and it is now at a historic high in the United States. However, due to the economic difficulties of the nation, many communities are cutting transit services and/or raising fares. This paper describes the benefits of public transit; and argues for increasing federal public transit funding and altering existing federal transit policy.
