This is crucial to the ongoing growth of the region. |

I would like to rely on transit. I don't even have to because I do have a car, but I would like to use transit. The reason I moved into the city is because it was a decent transit system that gets me to work and school downtown faster and cheaper than driving and parking. I am a young educated "professional", the kind of person that Pennsylvania is trying to retain and attract. If you want to keep me here, keep transit growing and funded. |

Without the funding many disabled persons will again become dependent on others to get to their jobs, grocery shopping and church. Persons with disabilities want to be as independnet as possible and not have to rely on others. |

Availablility of reliable, affordable transportation is critical to the health and well being of people with disabilities, seniors and those in frail health. Most of these individuals have low incomes and no other transportation alternatives. transportauion is their link to work, health care, and full participation in community life. |

This initiative is critical for all citizens.Dependable, reliable and efficient mass transit is the only realistic option for us to significantly reduce our dependence on oil- foreign or otherwise. Additionally good transit reduces congestion, air pollution and gross overdevelopment of highways and parking lots. The significance of sustainable mass transit is enormous in regard to the environment, and 'liveability' of our cities and towns. |

A dedicated source of public transit funding is so important to the many low- and moderate-income families that rely on public transit to get to work. The system is already not adequate to move people to jobs. The Fix it First strategy is a key guiding principle to control the "hollowing out" of our region. |

It is vital for me to have acess to public tranportation because I rely on it to go everywhere. After having my car stolen I had to ride public transportation to go to work to make money and to go shopping to spend money. With gas prices rising I doubt I will ever purchase another car after my postive experience with Port Authority. However, there are still drawbacks. Service where I live is limited and not the best. I would like to see more service. This is why it is so important to the region. Consumers need a more stable schedule with added service to many routes and in the end it helps everybody. |

Public transportation is what provides for a sustainable community for the greater Pittsburgh region. It is an integral factor contributing to the quality of life for our region. To not have a dedicated funding source that supports public transportation considereing the public benefits offered by reducing congestion, harmfull pollutants by increased vehicular traffic, noise pollution, reducing the potential for accidents, and providing a safe an efficient means to get to and from work is a poor reflection on the part of our representation and leadership in Harrisburg. The Governor should be commended for his efforts in tackling this tough issue. Our leadership in Harrisburg needs to act and act now. |

The efficient use of our energy resources is one of the most vital components of our success as a region and nation. This is an ecologic principle that applies to all living organisms. For whatever reason, we often tend to think of ourselves as separate from and not affected by this principle. It is this type of thinking that has led to many of the “ills” that now affect our culture. Sustainable planning and design and sustainable decision making is based upon adherence to this and all ecologic principles. We are not apart from, but, we are integral to life on this planet and our decision-making must, from this point forward reflect this fact. Transportation is an important component of the efficient use of our energy resources and this initiative is a much-needed step in the right direction. We support it enthusiastically |

Public transportation brings people together. It enables people in all economic levels to intermingle. It's democratic. It also provides some down time for stressed out citizens. We are always racing around, but on the bus, train or tram you can let someone else worry about traffic. It saves gasoline. It's cheaper that driving. It is good for the community to have an extensive, convenient wide-spread transportation system. The most civilized countries offer easy-to-use transportation. |

I agree that a stable and reliable source of funding must be developed and maintained for the Commonwealth's Transportation System. However, I have great concerns that existing funding is not being spent wisely, and costs are not the lowest they could be. A solution must also include addressing these issues. |

Southwestern Pennsylvania needs a strong and healthy public transportation network to support regional economic development activity and job growth. Without a strong network of public tranportation services business cannot get and retain the workforce needed to keep business competitive and committed to this region. An affordable public transportation system provides the citizens of this region with travel options, options that allow them to stay engaged in the daily activities of life. |

One of PennFuture's policy priorities in our 2006 Policy Agenda is to promote effective transportation policies, specifically: The General Assembly should establish a dedicated and stable source of funding for public transportation in Pennsylvania; PennDOT and the General Assembly should utilize a “Fix it First” policy to prioritize funding for needed repairs to existing roads and bridges as well as mass transit; and PennDOT, the General Assembly and the Pennsylvania Congressional delegation should oppose any attempt to earmark a significant portion of the state’s share of Federal highway money for the Mon-Fayette Toll Road. |

Transportation for those of us with disabilities is essential for us to live indpendently in the community. The Commonwealth is moving to rebalance Long Term Lving. As a result there will be more of our citizens with disabilities living in the community of their choosing. Without affordable and accessible transportation more people with disabilities will remain in Institutions. It is critical to provide a source of dedicated funding, which allows for inflation and growth.We support and endorce the principles |

The 700 people in Allegheny County who need our services in order to remain in their own homes and active in their communities rely on public transportation as most cannot drive. In addition, the most of the hundreds of caregivers who provide them with life sustaining services rely on public transporation to get to their homes. Without an adequate, accessible, reliable public transportation system in Allegheny County, many of our workers will lose their employment and may have to rely on public support. Worse yet, many of our participants will lose their source of life sustaining assistance and have to go into institutions, again supported by public funds. Supporting public transportation will be a much more positive use of public funds, as well as a use that will create economic growth as our participants and workers will be able to participate in the social and economic life of the community. |

The Committee for Accessible transportation believes that all persons should have access to public transportation and it is the one service that makes all activities possible for people with disabilities. In the community it should be seen as part of the infrastructure and should be regarded as a public utility critical for the health an welfare of everyone and to that end we should have a source of dedicated funding to assure that public transportation is available. |

The annual funding crisis and the resultant uncertainty warrant a permanent solution so our clients and employees need not wonder if essential services and jobs will survive each year. We defer or cancel capital expenditures each time the crisis threatens the very existence or the company. Prospective employees often ask the legitimate question- will your company still be here next year? A company, a city and a region which must live hand-to-mouth, never knowing if funding will be forthcoming and watching its infrastructure decay cannot hope to meet the transportation needs of its residents in the years to come. |

Investments in a robust transit infrastructure will pay dividends to the regional and urban economies, benefit the environment, and will provide opportunities for urban infill and transit-oriented development. Public transport provides benefits to all regional residents by providing mobility and access to employment and leisure activities, reducing congestion and pollution on the roadways, and enabling the sustainable development of a vibrant region and urban core. Additionally, extended deferred maintenance of exisiting infrastructure assets costs taxpayers more than it saves - it results in safety issues, greater congestion, and higher maintenance costs on vehicles. A prudent approach to infrastructure management is essential for passenger safety as well as the region's economy and environmental quality. |

It is very important to CCWA that any old repairs, or new improvements and roadways be dsigned and constructed with the most diligent attention to the effects on the surrounding natural environment. Much too often in the past, and, sometimes, even the present, there have been shortcuts taken, or total disregard as to how a project affects the natural environment around it. A partnership with groups such as CCWA could go a long way toward creating and instituting positive benefits for all concerned. Until I have the consensus of the Board of Directors, I am not able to offer an endorsement, but, this seems to be a positive step into a very productive future. As soon as the Board has been able to review the Statement of Principles, I hope to be able to hace CCWA listed as an endorser |

Public transportation helps increase the quality of life and economy of the Pittsburgh region. Further extending our present public transport (ie as in the SPC plans) would further the two even further, making our region very competitive on the national scale. |

CrCWA is a large watershed, stretching across both Armstrong and Indiana Counties. I several areas, it is negatively impacted by development.

I live in the Bucks County area and I am legally blind, which means that I have to use public transportation to get to many places. Unfortunately there are 3 to 4 buses in my area that don't go to many places. I am glad to see that someone is trying to improve public transportation in Pennsylvania. It would also be nice to have more sidewalks and crossing signals to safely cross major roads to get to bus stops, which do not seem to exist in my area. |

According to the 2000 Census, there are 40,000 households in the City of Pittsburgh and 80,000 households in Allegheny County which do not have an automobile. A good public transportation system is vital to ensuring that people who do not drive have access to employment, education, medical services, shopping and houses of worship. For those who do own automobiles, buses and trains offer an alternative to traveling by automobile and the aggravation of traffic, finding parking and the high cost of gasoline. An effective and extensive public transportation helps to reduce energy consumption, air pollution and traffic congestion. To maintain mobility for those who do not have automobiles and offer choices for who do have cars, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania must establish a reliable stream of dedicated funding for public transportation. |

Public transportation is "critical" for the sustainability and growth of Pittsburgh and the surrounding counties. ALL walks of life depend on public transportation to get them to their jobs, school, doctor appointments, church, visiting friends and family, community and sporting events, etc. We do not need more cars on the roads consuming more gas and causing more pollution. And we certainly don't need more parking garages! Pittsburgh and other cities in the Commonwealth need an AFFORDABLE and RELIABLE means of transportation for their communities. |

I have been taking public transportation since I had my first job in the City in 1977. To this day I still use the bus as my major form of transportation. I also recognize that the vitality and sustainability of any city/region depends on the ability of its residents to maintain mobility. Any further decimation of our public transportation system will cripple this region. The issue MUST be addressed NOW. |

Local transportation has many advantages in making this area a viable region. New business and existing business must have the access of transportation for growth and to maintain quality employees who utilize public transportation. Public transportation is apart of the infrastructure for our college students who commute throughout the city. Funding of transportation projects will allow the agency to plan on servicing additional areas in surrounding communities to eliminate unnecessary conjestion. Public transportation has always been a major means of transportation for our senior citizens who rely exclusively on this form of transportation to get around. Pennsylvania has a large number of senior citizens second to probably Florida who need this access to transportation. |

Mass transit is never going away in Pennsylvania. Nobody can deny that, and anybody who does is out of touch with the realities facing America in the years to come.

Convenient system of public transportation to/from job centers from/to remote areas is critical to the survival of the region as are well-maintained roads and bridges.

The City of Pittsburgh represents the deteriorated remnants of the industrial revolution. We have experienced no "dot-com" era. We have had little to no opportunity following the closing (now referred to as outsourcing or off-shore partnering) of the steel mills.

This is important, because people with visual impairments have no other choice to rely on public transportation. If the funding is not there trains, buses, and sub ways will not be improved and service will have to be cut. This would make it harder for people with visual impairments to obtain jobs, since it would be nearly impossible for them to get there. If they do not have jobs the government will have to spend more money on disability wellfare. This does not have to happen. Just give the money to a vidal part of everyday lives transportation. |
