Should the government increase spending on public transportation?

Yes, fund Amtrak to expand Passenger Rail Network, build new HSR & higher-speed corridors, upgrade rolling stock, and increase frequencies of routes. Fund States and local transit agencies to build and improve metros, light rail, urban and suburban buses, regional rail, and interurban networks

Yes, but primary funding should be coming from State and local governments, as well as private sources. The Federal government should create an infrastructure bank that invests in infrastructure projects such as public transit. It should be modeled after the FHLB and be self-sufficient

Yes, but replace the CIG program with a loan & bonds program to invest in local transportation options such as buses, BRT, streetcars/trolleys, light rail, heavy rail, and commuter rail. However, programs should be benchmarked, be fully funded, and all land should be acquired before grants are awarded to prevent cost overruns and delays

Yes, but the 75% of the funding for projects should come from state, local, and private sources and be fully committed before asking the FTA for grants and loans

Yes, but urban/suburban transit should be funded by the private sector and local governments. Inter-city rail should be funded by the private sector and state governments. The federal government should implement standards similar to the interstate highway standards

Yes, but the funding should come from Local Government and Private Sector sources. States should fund regional and long distance inter-city travel, and local governments should fund urban and suburban transportation with support from the state. The federal government should encourage policy that attracts private investment in high/high speed inter-city transit along with local urban and suburban transit.

Yes, state and local governments should fund public transit in every CSA (Metros, light rail, streetcars, interurbans, buses, suburban rail), and the federal government should work with Amtrak, States, and Localities to identify regional and inter-city rail (Higher speed and high speed)

Yes. Fund Amtrak to work with freight rail to make infrastructure upgrades to electrify all rail, improve speeds to 150 MPH, and improve frequency (5 trips daily to every 30 min depending on pop. density of service). Build 220 MPH High Speed off our Megaregions and run them 24/7. Work with states to operate inter-city rail to connect every municipality with city designation. Work with cities to improve network (buses, trolley, tram, subway, light rail) and have Regional Transportation to connect cities to the Metropolitan Statistical Area. Work with transit agencies to build Intermodal networks to move around the network more conveniently

Work with cities to improve network (buses, trolley, tram, subway, light rail) and have Regional Transportation to connect cities to the suburbs. Work with transit agencies to expand frequency and extensive networks within suburbs and suburb-to-suburbs.

Yes, work with planners to identify best city pairs to build out a High Speed Rail Network (260 MPH+) and fill in the gaps with a 125-135 MPH network and move all Amtrak service to the new network. Instruct DOT to work with States and Cities to provide additional inter-city rail and upgrade and expand transit in cities and their metropolitan areas. Provide funding to all 3 levels to upgrade rail infrastructure, improve service and frequencies, upgrade rolling stock, and repair abandoned rails with right-of-ways to improve and expand service

Yes, at the federal level fund their repair/maintenance backlog, create new routes to cities and rural areas (1979 Amtrak map as a reference, routes were at its peak), convert every Amtrak route to high speed rail with speeds of 250-300 MPH at every point, and improve scheduling and frequency to be competitive with cars and planes

At the state and local level, provide funding for existing repair/maintenance backlog, create new commuter service rail and buses that connects cities to their suburbs in a 50 miles radius, create new rail/bus service that connects towns and suburbs in a metropolitan area, create new light rail services in a city, and modernizes buses, and fix current/creates new bus routes that promote efficiency

Yes, at the federal level fund their repair/maintenance backlog, create new routes to cities and rural areas, convert every Amtrak route to high speed rail with speeds of 250-300 MPH at every point, and improve scheduling and frequency to be competitive with cars and planes

At the state and local level, provide funding for existing repair/maintenance backlog, create new commuter service to provide rail that connects cities of 50k+ population to their suburbs in a 50 miles radius, create new rail service that connects towns and suburbs in a metropolitan area, create new light rail services in a city, and modernizes buses, creates new bus routes, and improves efficiency

Yes, provide funding to Amtrak and the states to modernize transportation that is environmentally friendly, comfortable, efficient, and affordable. Fund Amtrak to develop modern high speed rail that connects our cities, complete their repair backlog, and create new routes. Provide funding to states that expand and modernize their public transportation. This could include, state intercity rail, regional rail (city to suburbs), interurban light rail, municipality to municipality buses/trolley/micro-transit, expanding routes to commercial and residential areas, and improving foot/bike transportation. Focus on improving speed, efficiency and frequency of transportation, and address the stigma of public transportation.

Yes, provide funding to Amtrak and the states to modernize transportation that is environmentally friendly, comfortable, efficient, and affordable. Fund Amtrak to develop high speed that connects our major cities and complete their repair backlog. Provide funding to states that expand and modernize their public transportation. This could include, city to city rail, regional rail (city to suburbs), suburbs to suburbs rail, municipality to municipality buses/trolley/micro-transit, and improving foot/bike transportation.

Yes, invest more in transportation (buses, high speed rail, taxis, trolleys, etc.) that are easily accessible for everyone, environmental friendly, affordable, and comfortable. Connect each city with high speed rail (Amtrak), connect each city within a state by rail (Amtrak and State DOT), regional rail from city to the suburbs with the suburbs being connected, buses/trolley/etc in each city, and each municipality should be connected with some form on transportation (mass transit or micro transit)

Yes, invest more in transportation (buses, high speed rail, taxis, trolleys, etc.) that are easily accessible for everyone, environmental friendly, affordable, and comfortable. Our cities should be connected by high speed rail (Amtrak), every municipality with over 1000 people should be connected, and our cities should have regional lines to connect the suburbs and each suburb should be connected.
