Like the public roads and highways, America relies on public transit to make our economy work. American workers and consumers depend on frequent, reliable, and affordable transit to get to where they need to go and keep American businesses thriving.   Yet our transit systems currently rely on passenger fares to fund their service and operations, and fares will never be enough to pay for the repairs our systems so desperately need as well as additional drivers and new buses and trains needed to expand to communities not reached by public transit with service that is both frequent and reliable. President Biden’s American Jobs Plan is a significant first step towards building a public transit system that creates more access for our most vulnerable communities and Congress is finally listening. Now we have a generational opportunity to go even further -- to not just give public transit the short-term funding needed to respond to the pandemic, but to transform it and respond to the millions of riders and communities that rely on it to access jobs, education, or healthcare.
