Our Top Priority

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. Public transportation improvements will reduce our dependence on oil, relieve traffic congestion and cut global warming. 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.
