Did you know that every $1 billion invested in public transportation supports and creates approximately 50,000 jobs? Or that every $1 invested in public transportation generates $5 in economic returns? There's no doubt about it: Public transportation is a major economic and jobs engine for communities of all sizes.
Public transit connects us to job and employment opportunities, helps get us to work every day, expands our shopping choices, supports small businesses and more! We want to know how public transit contributes to a strong economy in your area, so we can continue to tell the story about the positive impact of public transit. |
As the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) begins to take effect nationwide, we can see how upgraded public transportation systems help communities thrive. Increased investment in public transit has a lasting impact on local economies; creating jobs, making commutes more accessible and affordable, helping businesses reach new consumers - all of which inject our communities with economic growth and development.
Telling your story about public transit's economic contributions to our communities will help us better illustrate the full impact of the IIJA's investments to lawmakers.
It doesn't have to be long—just a few sentences will do—but as one of the many Voices for Public Transit across the country, your story matters and we would love to hear it.
Please consider sharing your story with us today.
Best,
