Today is truly a historic moment for New York," said Governor [Eliot Spitzer]. "For much of the twentieth century, New York talked about building the second Avenue Subway. Today, with the help of our partners in Washington and Albany, the shovels are already in the ground. This project will provide much-needed relief for straphangers on the crowded Lexington Avenue line and will allow us to expand North America's largest public transportation system to meet anticipated population growth and the increased demand for transit service. When completed, the full-length second Avenue Subway is projected to carry 560,000 people per day. According to the latest figures from the American Public Transportation Association, Los Angeles' subway carries 133,200 riders on an average weekday; Atlanta...

Traffic jams on the freeway and on local streets (downtown San Rafael is a whopper of an example) cause untold amounts of frustration. They also are a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. "We are all at least marginally aware that we have a transportation problem in [Marin]," says Kiki La Porta of Sustainable Marin. Many Marinites, however, don't know that "at least 50 percent, maybe 60 percent, of greenhouse gas emissions inthe county come from transportation-related causes." Considering the concern many Marin resident say they have for the environmental consequences of greenhouse gas emissions, it would seem that public transportation should be a thriving proposition in the county. It's not. The Muir Woods shuttle is in the last of a three-year pilot program designed to test...

Portland is internationally recognized for its devotion to urban planning and its love of public transportation, having received glowing coverage from the New York Times, the San Francisco Examiner and the BBC. But backlash against Portland's urban growth policies exists, and in recent months those policies have gotten national attention from two prominent think tanks. Randal O'Toole, a senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute, is leading the charge. A native Oregonian - originally a Portlander, now a Bandon resident - O'Toole believes Portland's public transportation system is too expensive and too coercive to be effective.
When the bridge board voted to consider the congestion toll, county Supervisor Charles McGlashan cast a dissenting vote. McGlashan is a strong advocate for public transportation and recognizes the benefits that the congestion toll could bring to public transit in the county. But he thinks the plans under consideration put too great a burden on those least able to afford increased toll costs. "If everyone could move to public transit," he says, "I would be more comfortable with the approach. Those of us who use FasTrak won't be harmed by the congestion toll. The problem is that the people who pay cash can't afford a $7 hit. Many of them are the same folks who have to go all the way down to the south city and San Bruno to their jobs, and the transit system can't get them there well. There...
