A grim milestone: 80 U.S. transit systems facing cutbacksFebruary 27, 2009
By Andrew Bielak
We’ve hit a grim new milestone in our search for transit cuts. Transportation for America has now found 80 communities across the United States cutting service, raising fares, or laying off workers to cope with slashed budgets and growing deficits. In nearly every instance we’ve found, there’s a similar pattern — while declining state and federal aid, paired with decreasing revenue, pushes a local transit agency to make cuts, while ridership remains at all time high as residents look for cleaner and more affordable ways to get to work or go to the store.
