Light rail lines are less expensive and carry more people than new highways.

Our Vision

An Overview

The economy is changing quickly and our transportation system must change quickly too. We need to aggressively expand and enhance transit service.

We need faster and more frequent buses and trains, new routes into underserved areas and better coordination between service providers. Yet declining sales tax revenues are forcing agencies to cut service and raise fares, just as we need expansion the most. Federal, state, and local governments need to work together to expand transit.
