November 20, 2008
You'd have to be a pretty big transit dork to anxiously read through Reconnecting America's new 34 page report, prepared for the Federal Transit Administration, providing detailed background information and outlining policy recommendations for creating and capturing value from transit systems in America. Having just finished looking at the report, I must recommend it to anyone who is interested in the intricacies and economics of transit systems and subsequent transit-oriented development. With President-elect Obama at least verbally committed to promoting transit, now is a unique window of opportunity to push a lot of good ideas into reality.
