South Dade

The Mass-Transit Landscape
APTA using transportation can save families more than $6,200 a year on expenses
Public transit helps save 1.4 billion gallons which is equivalent to 108 million fewer cars filling up at the pump
“Bus Rapid Transit gives communities the best bang for their buck when it comes to investing in transit.” Former US Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta
