Public transportation in America saves vast amounts of oil, reduces highway congestion, curbs emissions of global warming pollutants, and provides a host of other benefits. A Better Way to Go calculates the benefits of public transportation in cities across the country and makes the case for investing in a 21st century transportation system with clean, efficient transit at its core.  (March 2008)
