Platform - Green Party US Section III. Ecological Sustainability D. Transportation D2. Mass Transit- Redirect resources that currently go to enhancing auto capacity into expanding human-scale transit options.
- Develop affordable mass transit systems that are more economical to use than private vehicles.
- Encourage employer subsidies of transit commuter tickets for employees, funded by government Congestion Management grants.
- Use existing auto infrastructure for transit expansion where possible. Light rail could be established in expressway medians through metropolitan high-density corridors.
- Include land use decisions in transportation issues, with consideration of the need for mass transit to have a market and be viable, and with attention paid to crosscommuting the practice of people commuting to a place where they could and should live.
- Expand our country's network of rail lines, including high-speed regional passenger service.
- Transfer ownership and operation of all intercity railroad trackage currently under control of freight railroads to responsible and adequately funded public agencies, as is done with highways, to provide for efficiency and safety of all rail traffic.
