Public transportation riders in the US save 855 million gallons of gasoline per year, for an 8.5 million ton reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to if they drove. In America's 85 largest urban areas, public transportation prevented 1.1 billion hours in time lost to traffic jams.

If your neighborhood is out of the transit loop, you can work to change that. Cars don't have a lock on the American Dream. In fact, 100 years ago the road to prosperity was a streetcar line.
