Transit investments attract residents and businesses, provide better access to jobs, and improve the economy now and in the future.

Nationally, every $1 invested in public transit generates $5 of economic returns, and 49,700 jobs are created per $1 billion invested in transit (APTA).

Quality transit can reduce the wear and tear on roadways caused by personal vehicles, decreasing the need for roadway maintenance and enabling local governments to invest in other public needs.
