Twice for Transit

Tanya Snyder, reporting for StreetsBlog:

When asked what would solve traffic problems in their community, 42 percent of Americans say more transit. Only 20 percent say more roads. And 21 percent would like to see communities developed that don’t require so much driving. Two-thirds support local planning that guides new development into existing cities and near public transportation.

It’s interesting that transportation funding is so lopsided towards roads when the general public expresses a desire for more transit.
