A Quote by Michelle Wu

Raising the cost of public transit would burden residents who can least afford transportation alternatives and punish commuters who are doing the most to ease traffic and improve air quality.

Ontario's gas tax rebates and infrastructure programs help create sustainable transit to improve quality of life for Ottawa residents with significant environmental benefits.

Bob Chiarelli

We need bold proposals to make public transit the most reliable, convenient, and affordable transportation option.

Michelle Wu

It is important to give commuters greater, more reliable mass transit options and... great potential to get cars off of I-80 and eliminate other daily traffic jams in northern New Jersey.

Rodney Frelinghuysen

We need to improve our public transportation and invest in physical infrastructure changes so that people can safely choose alternatives to driving like walking, riding a bike or even, yes, electric scooters.

London Breed

It would almost seem that - dare I say this - private transportation is more efficient than mass public-transit!

Steven Crowder

There are no practical alternatives to air transportation.

Daniel Goldin

In communities all over the country, commuters put up with heavy traffic and aging transit systems because they don't really have a choice. People need to get to work, bring their children to day care or school, care for an aging parent or simply attend to a few errands.

Michael Capuano

The safety of the flying public should not be for sale. Handing air traffic control over to a private entity partly governed by the airlines is both a risk and liability we can't afford to take.

Bill Nelson

We can build wealth in all our communities, value public education, plan for our neighborhoods, invest in housing we can afford and transportation that serves everyone, truly fund public health for safety and healing, and deliver on a city Green New Deal for clean air and water, healthy homes, and the brightest future for our children.

We believe that government in Britain should improve the quality of people's lives and improve the quality of our public services in every local community.

Charles Kennedy

Other ways of looking at the environmental or climate change stuff is to frame it in the context that it is simultaneously a public health issue. One out of eight premature deaths worldwide happens because of air pollution. The worst power plant in America kills 278 people a year and causes 445 heart attacks. So, when we improve air quality we improve our lives, and at the same time we improve the climate as well. We must see climate policy from this perspective and not as an abstract threat that may threaten our survival in 100 years.

Michael Bloomberg

North Jersey residents rely on mass transit to get to work and our entire region is interconnected by our transit system.

Mikie Sherrill

If you provide good alternatives for public transport, you won't have traffic problems.

Jaime Lerner

If the air quality is terrible in Los Angeles, if a particular university is unusually expensive, if crime is on the rise in Dallas, or if a company has a lot of recalled toys, transparency can spur change. Whenever public or private institutions have to answer to the public, their performance is likely to improve.

Cass Sunstein

I support progressive revenue sources that ease the burden on low-income and working-class individuals and families who are least able to shoulder the burden of regressive taxes and fees.

Lori Lightfoot

A society - any society - is defined as a set of mutual benefits and duties embodied most visibly in public institutions: public schools, public libraries, public transportation, public hospitals, public parks, public museums, public recreation, public universities, and so on.
