Too Little, Too Late? A Decade of Transit Investment in the U.S.

By Yonah Freemark | Jan 8, 2020 | No Comments
Cities across the U.S. added more than 1,200 miles of expanded transit service between 2010 and 2019. But all that construction isn’t keeping up with the need.

So far, few places have hit on a policy combination that makes transit more useful to more people. To help cities "get transit right," Streetsblog is launching a new series about which transit strategies are working and which are not.
