I strongly support keeping this plank. The use of public transportation reduces traffic for drivers, reduces greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming, reduces air pollution that causes heart attacks, strokes, and lung disease especially in communities near highways and major roads. It encourages walking and leads people to be healthier and more fit. Most all, fast, efficient, convenient public transportation increases the ability of people to get around and creates a more vibrant and competitive regional economy.

I strongly support this also. It would help to connect Western and Eastern Massachusetts creating opportunities to grow and prosper using each others resources and workforce.
ReplyDeleteIt would help to curb traffic congestion and pollution.
We suggest the following wording for this item:
ReplyDelete"We support improved and expanded public transportation in urban, suburban, exurban, and rural regions as a way to expand economic growth, increase job opportunities, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from excessive us of private vehicles."
We strongly support this particularily for the North and Western parts of the state.
