CNU 23DALLAS/FORT WORTH 4/29-5/2/2015»»» New York Times: A Pitch for Mass Transit
Submitted by Michael McAteer on Wed, 01/07/2009 - 9:16am
Unlike President Bush, Barack Obama is going to enter office with a clear appreciation of the urgent problems of climate change and America’s growing dependency on foreign oil — and a strong commitment to address both.
One way he can do this is to give mass transit — trains, buses, commuter rails — the priority it deserves and the full financial and technological help it needs and has long been denied.
Mass transit has always played second fiddle to the automobile, so Mr. Obama will need strong allies.
