Every $10 million investment
in public transit generates 300 jobs and a $30 million
boost in local sales. *
Employees who have no choice but to battle their
way through congestion every day are less productive
and more likely to change jobs.***
Every dollar that taxpayers
invest in public transportation generates $6 or more in economic
returns.****
Of the 50 largest metropolitan areas
in the United States, 48 are building or expanding their
transit systems.**
