Public Transportation Boosts Business Sales

4 MILLION gallons of gas are saved every day in the United States through the use of public transportation systems. According to the American Public Transportation Association, every $10 million invested in a local transit system generates $30 million in business sales.

Since the opening of Minneapolis Hiawatha light rail in 2004, the projected daily ridership has grown from 19,000 to now exceeding 28,000 and 7,700 multifamily units have arisen since the projects approval in 2001 - excerpt from Architect. All Aboard, October 2008.
