Study finds transit access to jobs rises, thanks to A-Line
|
Twin Cities transit riders can reach more than 18,000 jobs within a half-hour when traveling by bus or train, up 7 percent between 2016 and 2017, according to study results recently released by the University of Minnesota.
One reason for the jump, say analysts who put together the annual Access Across America report, was the opening of the A-Line.
Bus Rapid Transit gets results and creates new connections to opportunities. It is affordable and can be supported by every one. The failure of the legislature to provide money for the expansion of the BRT network just highlights the amount of work we have to do advocating for these critical investments.
