It’s been embarrassing to be traveling in Europe during critical weeks when several states I care about — including Pennsylvania, Oregon, and Illinois — are going through major transit funding crises. But the same crises are coming for much of the US in the next year. So I wanted to lay out everything I could offer in the way of arguments for why US transit deserves funding, why it’s going to need more, and what arguments we can make to win this difficult battle. Bloomberg Citylab published it today.
I’m especially proud of the line, “If you drive to the mall, bus riders subsidize you.” But there’s a lot there and I hope you find it useful.
Again, it’s here.
