Excerpt from the EDF website: The urgency of the current economic and environmental crises requires solutions that have been proven to work effectively. Our report Reinventing Transit showcases the new generation of innovative public transit already at work in communities across America, helping to create jobs while ensuring cleaner air and healthier communities.
Through the report's 11 case studies, we show that cutting-edge transit can be cost effective, flexible and implemented quickly. They are concrete examples of how modern transit can be tailored to any community, providing greater mobility and access to jobs while making travel cheaper and more energy efficient.
If federal policy supported innovations like these at scale across America, a true new generation of transit could be realized.
