The PBS program NOW recently had a segment called "Stimulus Roadblock?". The segment discussed mass transit's successes and roadblocks it faces in the United States. The majority of the segment was devoted to the successes and difficulties of the Charlotte LRT system. Like the NOW segment we posted earlier, it is worth taking the time to watch. I was glad to see that it stressed the importance of designing the cities along transit corridors so that they work together and the need to plan proactively for the certain future growth of our urban areas. Transit alone is not the answer, but it is a piece of the economic success of our region.
