PUBLIC TRANSIT
Our Commitment
Reducing carbon pollution and traffic by funding public transit options.
THE ISSUE
Virginia needs a cleaner, more equitable public transit system. For decades, funds have primarily gone to road projects to the detriment of safer, healthier, and greener choices. As a result, transportation is Virginia’s largest source of carbon pollution and there are few alternatives to driving, especially in under-resourced communities. Despite some recent progress, transportation planning and funding continues to focus heavily on highway expansion and construction. Virginia must support the development of public transportation to improve the speed, frequency, and reliability of service; extend service to new places; modernize stations, further reduce their environmental impact, and improve multimodal connections to them.
