Public Transit -- Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning

Public Transit -- Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning: "Our region relies on its transit system, which benefits us all — not just the 2 million riders who commute each day by train or bus.

Senate approves transit cuts | StarTribune.com: "The measure, approved 38-25, reduces spending on Twin Cities bus and rail operations by $32 million over two years.

The reduction by the GOP-led Senate is less severe than cuts favored by Republicans in a bill that passed the Minnesota House. The two bills will be reconciled in conference committees."
