Public transportation is not a federal issue. States or municipalities should address this
@8FBCPP74yrs4Y
keep it at the state level.
@9DYZN5X1yr1Y
Only in more urban settings, not suburban
@9FGRTFC1yr1Y
Yes, and provide affordable public transportation
@9D3RPBQ1yr1Y
Yes, and provide more free public transportation and spend on environmentally friendly solutions

Yes, local governments spend money on public transport but varying degrees of urban sprawl and income equality. Spending more or less is not the only response.
