Props to The Columbian for covering the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act as well as the Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing. As a student who uses Clark County’s public transportation every weekday, I’m definitely one to appreciate such systems.
The national-level effort to not only create affordable housing, but nearby hubs of public transportation, is a very important part of the effort to make public transportation accessible and sustainable for as many people as possible. It is fundamentally a value that residents of Clark County should care about, and I would say the same for any smaller community; all areas of the country have people that need our public transportation systems.
I would recommend to any readers who were interested in the issue to further look into urbanist thought. I believe you’ll find a similar philosophy and attitude toward these issues and even more ideas like these federal programs, which could enhance public transportation on a large and small scale.
