No, implement civil engineering initiatives that encourage development of neighborhoods that include walking/biking opportunities and foster local businesses.
@983JWY52yrs2Y
“No”
I agree with everything but the no, because public transit is something needed for more walkable and bikeable cities.
@9CCK3MD2yrs2Y
It should be up to the states; public transport is state based.
@9BPCMSTConstitution2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if the system is efficient and maintained.
@96J43DY3yrs3Y
No, that should be left up to local government
@958F9D83yrs3Y
How much are people being paid in return, how much do people really use transportation/ how many people demand it... etc...
@938YMCT3yrs3Y
There ought not be public transportation. All transportation, including roads and air travel, should be private.
@8ZJZBMWIndependent3yrs3Y
Rail and new tech should get more funds.
@8WD5R55Progressive4yrs4Y
Yes, only improving on current things
@8SZJW7MRepublican4yrs4Y
Yes, but fund private corporation to innovate and build said transportation
@8QYVX684yrs4Y
Public transportation should be public in the first place, not privatized.
@8LBK2JT5yrs5Y
Only if the city needs it
@8DFMKWX5yrs5Y
Yes, but only for implementing training programs for public transport drivers to not be as much of a menace on the roadways.
@8CT35JB5yrs5Y
No, not currently. We have more pressing issues that require the governments immediate attention. But it's a subject that should be addressed in the very near future.
@9BZVTLQ2yrs2Y
There should be a combined initiative for better access to alternatives to cars, buses and trains. Public walkways and bikeways are horrendously under developed and in many instances walking and biking are dangerous to both car and pedestrian.
@99MX7KG2yrs2Y
Yes but only on a local/state level
@98T43SD2yrs2Y
If the area is very populated yes if not no
@97DSLKK3yrs3Y
It would be nice for more transportation methods, as opposed to having to drive or call an uber everywhere, but it's not super urgent.
@946KDKG3yrs3Y
Yes, and we should get rid of cars all together.
@8T5XQFQ4yrs4Y
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT should be completely out of it. LOCAL MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT is under the control of the local citizens. ALL GOVERNMENT should apply equally to its citizens!
@8PW4VMP4yrs4Y
No, the government should not be funding anything
@8FB9R83Constitution5yrs5Y
This is a state and local issue, not federal.
@8PMF46F4yrs4Y
Yes, we need to repair the wear on the transportation systems in major cities like New York. However, in the future, we should look for other ways for public transportation other than subways or buses, possibly a motor-rail or something electronic or powered from renewable energy.
