“Public transit should exist as a reliable and viable transportation option for residents to reach jobs and other services throughout the day. We believe that true world class transit is possible with the right funding and resources. We’re laying out a vision for what that system could look like, and how we can get there.” - RIDE New Orleans, Why Public Transit Must Grow
