Next Stop: Sustainable Public Transit and Mobility | Briefing | EESI

The EESI briefing discusses the role of federal investments in U.S. public transit, noting that such funding supports local economies, reduces air pollution, and improves land use. It specifically highlights that every dollar invested in transit generates $5 in economic returns and explores the integration of transit with other mobility forms and land use policies.

• Federal investments in public transit provide significant economic benefits, with a reported return of $5 for every single dollar invested.
• Expanding and making public transportation more accessible serves multiple goals, including the reduction of local air pollution, the improvement of land use, and the support of millions of jobs.
