The bottom line: We can't allow public transit to falter. It is too important to our communities.
Yes, the barriers to recovery are a bit daunting. However, sizable challenges always bring great opportunities, too. As public transportation restarts, many are embracing innovative, internet-connected technologies and applications more vigorously than before. Why? Because the ability to retain riders and draw in new ones; make life easier and more enjoyable for passengers; and support public health transit authorities might very well require new ways of doing things. The time to act is now.
