Challenge 9:
Transportation. Buffalo Niagara lacks accessible, timely public transportation. One in every four households in the city of Buffalo does not have access to a car, and they often miss out on quality job opportunities, housing, education, and healthcare due to lack of accessibility. As a state and region, we must reorient our policy decisions to prioritize public transportation, which is more equitable and sustainable than private vehicle use. This includes creating robust dedicated funding sources for public transit, investing in electric buses, increasing bus service, expanding the metro rail system, and incentivizing use of public transit.
