We believe it is essential to have a fund for public transit within the context of overall infrastructure issues.

Municipalities have different challenges. Some of those challenges have to do with public transit, and others have to do with infrastructure that is not related to public transit.

In our opinion, it is essential to take a comprehensive view of infrastructure issues. We are talking about a long-term infrastructure plan, one crucial part of which, we believe, deals with public transit.
