Report Examines Business Case for Public Transportation

A new publication from the APTA Business Member Board of Governors, Open for Business: The Business Case for Investment in Public Transportation, focuses on the issues ­critical to private investors as they consider the public transportation industry as an investment destination.

Public transportation is a $57 billion industry in the U.S. and an attractive market for both public and private investment. The report looks at the steady growth of public transit in recent decades and suggests that long-term ­economic and social trends—population, energy, ­public choice, and a generational shift in travel behavior—point to more rapid growth in the future.

The report also stresses ­increasing interest in high-performance intercity passenger rail, including high-speed rail, in the U.S.

The brochure is targeted to the business community and may have particular interest from a number of entities that include local Chambers of Commerce, architects, small businesses, and those interested in investing in sustainable communities.

The report, in PDF format, is available here.
