Transit moves more people
"As developing nations such as China and India compete for a dwindling oil supply worldwide smart communities plan ahead. To prepare we must invest in a strong transit system that will allow us to keep the University campus and all of Dane County economically strong while reducing our reliance on foreign oil. A Regional Transit Authority will allow us to plan development and transportation together, to invest in new transit solutions such as commuter rail and express bus, and to give people a choice in how they live and work."
Scott McDonell, Chair of the Dane County Board of Supervisors
United Transit System (Raleigh/Durham)
In a time of global warming transit is more friendly to the environment. New hybrid diesel electric rail cars are one option among the greener vehicles becoming available.
