PAYING FOR PUBLIC TRANSIT

James Carlile

Abstract

The article discusses the President Bush's transportation plan proposals which would shear away the federal operating portion currently provided to public transportation systems. Though the federal percentage varies from system to system, it is a sizeable portion for some systems. The effects of such cuts in Denver, Atlanta, and Detroit are discussed. The effects on the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority, and New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority, are discussed as well as effects on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. The position of the Chicago Transit Authority is also noted.
