The Free Congress Foundation established a new Center for Public Transportation on May 18, with the purpose of building support for public transportation, especially urban and intercity rail, a non-partisan, non-ideological public consensus.

“The vision the center will offer is a rebalanced national transportation system in which rail and highway travel complement each other,” according to the mission statement. “Some journeys will always be more convenient by car. But Americans should be able to travel from any point in the country to any other point without using a car, if they so choose. They had that option as recently as the 1950s. By re-creating it, we can ensure that America is not held hostage by crises in the Middle East or other oil-producing areas.”

William S. Lind, who co-authored the foundation’s transportation studies with its late chairman, Paul M. Weyrich, serves as director of the center. The executive director will be Glen Bottoms, who recently retired from a 25-year career with the Federal Transit Administration.
