Transit Transit Transit!

I highly recommend listening to the first half-hour of yesterday's broadcast of Detroit Today (even if you're not from Detroit). John Hertel of the Regional Transit Coordinating Council and Megan Owens from Transit Riders United talked about the newly-announced proposal for gradually developing a rapid transit system for SE Michigan. How do you like this factoid: $1.00 of federal money invested in public transit leads to an average of $6.00 of private sector investment. It's not just an issue for tree-huggers anymore...
