Six Reasons to Support Transit!

1. In comparison with private vehicles, public transportation generates 95% less carbon monoxide, 92% less in volatile organic compounds, and about half as much carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide per passenger mile.



2. Four in five Americans realize that increased investment in public transportation strengthens the economy, creates jobs, reduces traffic congestion and air pollution, and saves energy.



3. Public transportation is fast, predictable, and great for the environment



4. Monorail, buses and light rail will work as a connected transit network, something most other cities have had for years.



5. Public transportation supports public schools. Hundreds of families rely upon public transportation every day to provide the necessary transportation link between after school activities, sports and mobility to magnet school programs.



6. Public transportation reduces congestion. Motorists who don't even use public transportation directly benefit by the presence of it on our over-crowded highways and streets.
