2003 - National Business Coalition for Rapid Transit

The tremendous growth in traffic congestion means extra costs for business – higher wages and benefits to recruit workers, shorter workdays, increased absenteeism, and greater employee turnover and transportation assistance. Business is recognizing that travel mobility is a key quality of life issue for its labor force. Transit provides another economic boost to business by removing autos from the highway system, thereby maintaining roadway capacity for the shipment of goods and material. link to pdf
