PUBLIC TRANSIT BENEFITS EVERYONE: Transportation policies impact everyone by affecting access to resources, quality of life, and economic opportunities. Historically, transportation planning prioritized speed for drivers, neglecting those who walk, bike, or rely on public transit.
Public Transit Benefits:
1. Social Equity – Ensures access for all, including work and basic needs.
2. Personal Health – Encourages more walking, improving fitness.
3. Personal Safety – Reduces the need to walk along busy roads lacking sidewalks.
4. Community Safety – Lowers traffic accidents, congestion, and pollution.
5. Cost Savings – Reduces the need for new roads and parking lots and less wear on existing infrastructure.
6. Preserving Land – Focuses on efficient use of current roadways, protecting farmland and natural areas.
