[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Transit ridership in NOVA has been on long-term decline since 2008, predating the pandemic. Current ridership is 60% below 2008 levels. Only 4% of NOVA commuters use transit, which is down from what was a steady 10% of commuters pre-pandemic. https://novatransit.org/uploads/studiesarchive/2024%20Northern%20Virginia%20Transit%20Trends%20Report.pdf Spending more on transit is a waste of money.[/quote] It's the other way around. Spending more on transit - and more importantly, figuring out how to persuade people to take public transit (why are rates declining? what would people prefer for them to choose public transit?) would be money well spent. I've lived in Nova for 25 years - more traffic is not the answer. [/quote]
