The take-away? These people had a choice on how to get to and from work. In fact, the choice equates to $2 per hour. For David, that's a meaningful impact in the take-home pay for anyone that chooses to use public transportation.
Adding public transportation is doing more than that though. It's creating community. A community that can grow and excel. But it also means we're now competing with communities for people that expect these services.
"We have to have the courage to invest if we're going to prosper"
LaGrand sees public transportation as a long-term investment - a commitment to where we want to go. Public transportation is a key part of the infrastructure we need.
