In the face of challenges such as high gasoline prices, traffic congestion, and greenhouse gas emissions, public
transportation offers a range of benefits over private automobile travel. Indeed, rising urban rail and bus ridership,
as well as plans for high-speed rail corridors, suggest a rekindling of U.S. interest in these alternative forms
of transport. Although still far from adequate, capital funds for these projects have been on the rise for several years,
and the 2009 economic stimulus bill provided an important one-time boost. Along with this renewed interest in
stronger transit systems, there is an increasing emphasis on capturing the jobs required in manufacturing these
vehicles as well.
