Accommodate that kind of demand driven by change and growth unless we invest in transportation today. And specifically public transport. Of course more people means more people trying to get to work and because this is america it also means more people starting and growing businesses and they will need to connect to workers. A very recent example. When the big blizzard in january shutdown bostons Public Transportation Massachusetts General Hospital had a real problem. According to the hospital, nearly half of their employees take public transit. So in the midst of this very dangerous storm they were literally working overtime to make sure they could get enough on every shift to serve their patients. That is the situation that is not as unique as it sounds. In atlanta, University Study looked at 50 Industry Sectors that make up the regions economy and it found that 14 of the 18,000 fastestgrowing sectors are among those whose workers rely heavily on local Transit Services to get to and

Hes been to the hill many times himself over the past year. And hes worked hard to share with lawmakers the stark facts and a sense of urgency. Hes explained how were investing much less than we should be in transportation. And hes warned that because of that disinvestment, weve fallen behind on repairs. Something we have to address even as we plan for the new capacity we must have for growing demand. But these same arguments carry so much more weight when they come from you.
