Public transportation is good for business. Adequate public transportation that can get workers to and from centers of business offers access to quality, diverse talent. It also has the potential to dramatically increase your customer base. Supporting and promoting public transportation benefits everyone. The fewer gas-powered cars on Connecticut roads means less air pollution, less fossil fuel consumption and a reduction in our collective carbon footprint.
