The Lexington, KY community is heavily dependant on cars for transportation, which is bad for our health and unsustainable for our economy. What will happen when our population grows so much that the road traffic is so bad that no one wants to go out unless they absolutely have to? Every car on the road adds to the air pollution in our community, and many families have two or more cars. If we as a community chose to invest more in our public transportation system, and then started using it more, we would be healthier, our community would be more attractive

Improving our public transportation system would benefit the people who already rely on it to get around. Cars are very expensive, with having an auto payment, paying for gas, paying for repairs and maintenance. It is a very large and often unpredictable part of a person's budget. Public transportation is not only cheaper, it takes away the possibility of suddenly having a huge expense that could be devastating to someone just barely getting by financially.
