Reinventing Transit:
American communities finding smarter,
cleaner, faster transportation solutions
"This report showcases the new generation of innovative public transit already operating in a variety of communities across America. Our goal is to shatter the preconceived notion that transit is exclusive to more traditional urban centers and that it is slow and unreliable. Through 11 case studies, we demonstrate how cutting edge transit has been implemented quickly and cost-effectively in a variety of settings from urban to rural.
Expanding cost-effective transit options is key to our nation’s economic and
environmental health. On the environmental side, transportation sources are
responsible for about a third of U.S. global warming pollution—most of which comes from cars and trucks. Economically, investments that expand transit provide more and longer-lasting jobs than investments to expand highways, while boosting economic development, enhancing real estate values and helping relieve consumer
reliance on foreign oil.1"
