Responding to Critics: Transit Myth & Fact
The CFTE Transit Myth & Fact series
provides downloadable one-page factsheets addressing - and refuting
- many of the distortions and inaccuracies frequently used by critics.
These factsheets are written for a general audience and are great
resources for public meetings, press kits, and meetings with local
officials or stakeholder groups. Each issue provides current data
and useful examples from communities around the country.
CFTE will regularly release new factsheets with a
new issue in the series available every other month. If there are
topics that would be particularly useful in your community, let
us know!
