Finding Effective Arguments for Funding Mass Transit


Photo by julien via Flickr.

[I] want to figure out a solid economic argument for mass transit -- a solid economic argument against car sprawl -- an argument that actually has rhetorical impact, can be stated in less than 500 words, uses plain speech, avoids any extraneous explanations about property taxes and federal and state excise taxes, drops in sales taxes, etc.


Read this provocative article and discussion at StreetsBlog. How can we make an effective argument for transit?
