• Abstract:
  Good public transit systems are important ; community amenities because they increase ; the mobility options for residents at all income ; levels and abilities, they reduce congestion on ; roadways and in parking facilities, and they help ; to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emission. ; However, public transit requires a significant ; investment for establishment, operation, and ; maintenance. Part of this investment is offset by ; fares, but substantial contributions are required ; from government at all levels. These costs are ; often justified by the economic benefit transit ; brings, for which, agencies and other stakeholders ; frequently need current, objective, and ; community-specific information.
