Transportation's biggest issue is that we manage land use poorly around here. Too many people are making decisions based upon not is what is good for public transportation, but what is good for an individual communities tax rolls.
We also need to be careful about what service improvements we roll out to transit. It wouldbe a huge disservice if we roll out an expensive option along one corridoor and have to cut service along a lot of others to pay to operate it. This is what SMART had to do with the Woodward Train in the 1980's to pay for the People Mover. Ultimately SMART [[SEMTA back then) gave up on it and handed it over to the City to finish.
